Azureleaf

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 151 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous very thick, straight stems covered in thin, smooth, light brown bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches trail down to the ground with dozens of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of large, 9 pointed, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either cyan or azure, with blood red dots, robust and fuzzy.

In early summer it produces a handful of tiny, dark brown flowers with triangular shaped petals. They detach easily and have a powerful scent that smells like rotting meat.
