Turquoise

Flower type: Perennial (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its red and black stem is very thick and splits into dozens of branching stems halfway up, and the large, gray-green leaves are needle-like with smooth edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Dozens of small flowers grow in bunches along the stem. The flowers are 10 cm (3.9 inches) wide, with turquoise petals and a white central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 20 curved petals. They are very delicate.
