Clinging Firebloom

This small flower grows up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. Its yellow stem is wispy, and the tiny, orange-yellow leaves are thick with irregular edges. The leaves alternate on the stem from the base up to about halfway.

Two large flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with crimson petals and a cyan central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 20 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like cherry, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind.
