Crimson Petal Bloom

This short flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its bright red stem is wispy, and the tiny, pink-red leaves are thin with rounded edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Two large flowers sit at the end of each stem. The flowers are 8 cm (3.1 inches) wide, with petals that are magenta in the center, crimson in the middle and crimson at the edges. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 curved petals. They detach easily.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like a man, and it has an average amount of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind.
