Bluebell

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its gray stem is very thick, and the giant, dark blue leaves are light gray-green on the underside and are long, tapering with irregular edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

3 to 8 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are beige at the sides and olive at the center. The flower head is largely flat with 45 tightly layered narrow petals. They are very delicate.

It has an intensely strong scent that smells like baby powder, and it has a modest amount of pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is visited by a large variety of them.
