Caramel Fanflower

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its caramel and white stem is wispy, and the giant, yellow-green leaves are fan-like with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

1 to 4 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are generally purple; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 petals. They are very delicate.

It has the faintest scent that smells like cheap aftershave, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind.
