Bronzeberry

Flower type: Biennial (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This colossal flower grows up to 10.3 feet (3.1 meters) tall. Its gray stems grow in bunches of 4 and are thick and straight, and the miniature, gray leaves are long, narrow with tattered edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

Each stem splits 6 to 11 times; a single giant flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 96 cm (37.8 inches) wide, with solid bronze petals decorated with red lines and a deep blue central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 20 petals. They fall easily.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like garlic, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is enjoyed by several specific types of insect.


It is almost impossible to grow indoors.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
