Bloodvine

This large flower grows up to 4.0 feet (1.2 meters) tall. Its gray-green stem is wispy, and the tiny, orange and green leaves are finger-like with irregular edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

2 to 6 small flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 27 cm (10.6 inches) wide, with petals that are gold on the underside and blood red on the top. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 20 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like a newborn baby, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
