Caramel Dream

Flower type: Annual (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This short flower grows up to 1 inch (3 cm) tall. Its olive or lime stems grow in bunches of 3 and are very thick with a curved tip, and the small, lime leaves are perforated with rounded edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Two medium-sized flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with petals that are generally caramel; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 55 petals. They detach easily.

It has a mildly strong scent that smells like coconut, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.

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