Luminous Purple

This massive flower grows up to 13.0 feet (4.0 meters) tall. Its vibrant green and cream stem is wispy and splits into numerous branching stems a quarter of the way up, and the large, orange leaves are light green on the underside and are very thin with irregular edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

A single medium-sized flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 71 cm (28.0 inches) wide, with petals that are green in the center, florescent green in the middle and purple at the edges. The flower head is largely flat with 49 widely spaced round-tipped petals. They are hardy.

It has an intense scent that smells like rich perfume, and it has very little pollen, but can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects , but is also visited by a small species of bird.
