Bronze

Flower type: Annual (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.6 feet (48 cm) tall. Its gray-green stems grow from the base of the plant in bunches of 8 and are thick and straight, and split into several branching stems at the top, and the huge, green leaves are finger-like with tattered edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

1 to 5 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 50 cm (19.7 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 an intense scent that smells like vomit, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to butterflies.

It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
