Silverbell Daisy

This big flower grows up to 2.3 feet (69 cm) tall. Its green stem is thick, and the giant, purple leaves are 7 pointed with toothed edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

3 to 6 small flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 15 cm (5.9 inches) wide, with solid silver petals decorated with florescent blue lines and a hazel central disk. The flower head is made up of 44 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight dish. They are very delicate.

It has a soft scent that smells like vomit, and it has a modest amount of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by a small species of bird.
