Copperflower

This short flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is thin, and the miniature, copper leaves are stiff, pointed with toothed edges. The leaves grow from the base and are the same length as the stem.

Two small flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of faded green. The flower head is made up of several petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cube. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like rainy days, and it has a fair amount of pollen. It is pollinated by a small species of bird, but is also particularly attractive to insects.
