Lilac Petal Bloom

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.8 feet (53 cm) tall. Its yellow stem is thin, and the tiny, burgundy leaves are slender, pointed with serrated edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

2 to 7 giant flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 48 cm (18.9 inches) wide, with petals that are generally lilac; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 60 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like skunk spray, and it has copious amounts of pollen. It is a self-pollinator.
