Aquarose

Flower type: Annual (Stores water in its stem)

This colossal flower grows up to 15.8 feet (4.8 meters) tall. Its emerald stem is very thick, and the small, green leaves are needle-like with serrated edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves alternate on the stem from about halfway up, up to the flower head.

Each stem splits 3 to 9 times; a single giant flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 75 cm (29.5 inches) wide, with petals that are either turquoise or orange, with a yellow center. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals in raised layers. They are hardy.

It has a weak scent that smells like new carpet, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also particularly attractive to butterflies.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
