Emerald

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its emerald stems grow in bunches of 6 and are very thick and straight, and the giant, lime green leaves are slender, pointed with rounded 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.

A single medium-sized flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with petals that are purple in the center, blue in the middle and gold at the edges. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 40 curved petals. They are hardy.

It has a delicate scent that smells like grass cuttings, and it has very little pollen, but can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also particularly attractive to bees.
