Copperleaf

This short flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its copper stem is thick and splits into 5 branching stems a quarter of the way up, and the giant, lime green leaves are long, narrow with serrated edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Several small flowers grow in a bunch at the end of the stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with petals that are pink on the edges and yellow at the center. The flower head is shaped like a sphere made up of many tightly layered, narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like meat, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
