Copperrose

This massive flower grows up to 14.7 feet (4.5 meters) tall. Its red or blood red stem is very thick and splits into several branching stems a quarter of the way up, and the miniature, copper leaves are perforated with smooth edges. 29 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

3 to 6 medium-sized flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 46 cm (18.1 inches) wide, with solid deep yellow petals decorated with copper lines and a deep yellow central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like sweat, and it has lots of pollen. It is pollinated by a small species of bird and is ignored by most insect species.
