Emerald Flower

This modest-sized flower grows up to 9 inches (23 cm) tall. Its emerald stems grow in bunches of 6 and are very thick and straight, and the large, dark brown leaves are long, narrow with toothed edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

A single tiny flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 5 cm (2.0 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of yellow. The flower head is shaped like a cube made up of dozens of widely spaced, round-tipped petals. They are hardy.

It has a strong scent that smells like paint, and it has lots of pollen. It is a self-pollinator.
