Sunfire Daisy

Flower type: Perennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This short flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its orange-yellow stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 5 and are thin and straight, and split into dozens of branching stems at the base, and the miniature, silver leaves are 2 pointed with ripped edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from the base up to about halfway.

Two small flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with grey petals that gradient shift to ashy orange on the outer edge. The central disk is lilac. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals in raised layers. They detach easily.

It has a strong scent that smells like meat, and it has excessive amounts of pollen. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by a small species of bird.

It only grows on the most fertile lands.
It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
