Coppervine

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

This small flower grows up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall. Its copper stem is very thick, and the miniature, aquamarine or cream leaves are dark gray on the underside and are pleated with ripped edges. Many leaves grow along the entire length of the stem.

A single tiny flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 4 cm (1.6 inches) wide, with slate petals and a silver central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 27 petals. They are hardy.

It has no scent, and it has copious amounts of pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.

It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
It is suitable for making strong rope
