Copperpetal

Flower type: Annual (Stores water in its stem)

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its yellow stem is thick, and the miniature, copper leaves are very thick with smooth edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and a pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

A single small flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 11 cm (4.3 inches) wide, with petals that are generally red; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 49 curved petals. They are hardy.

It has a fairly strong scent that smells like wet dog, and it has lots of pollen, but it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by a small species of bird and is ignored by most insect species.


It is suitable for making baskets and the like
It can grow in even the most barren lands.
