Turquoise Petal

This modest-sized flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its intense green stem is thick, and the small, burgundy leaves are 2 pointed with smooth 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 22 cm (8.7 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of turquoise. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 21 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like pepper, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator.
