Blood Red Petal Bloom

This modest-sized flower grows up to 1.8 feet (56 cm) tall. Its moss green stem is wispy and straight, and the tiny, green leaves are wispy with smooth edges. 8 leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Two large flowers sit at the end of each stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with petals that are either azure or blood red, with a yellow center. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 curved petals. They are very delicate.

It has a powerful scent that smells like ashes, and it has very little pollen, but can cause severe allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is also particularly attractive to butterflies.
