Crimsonvine

This short flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its pink-red stem is wispy and straight with a curved tip, and the tiny, blood red leaves are dark white on the underside and are oval-shaped with smooth edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

A single giant flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with petals that are generally crimson; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is made up of several petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. They are hardy.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like warm cookies, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also visited by some specific types of insect.
