Limeleaf Periwinkle

This short flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its gray stem is wispy, and the giant, lime green leaves are dark brown on the underside and are perforated with toothed edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Around 30 small flowers grow in bunches along the stem. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with petals that are lilac on the edges and cream at the center. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 17 curved petals. They are sturdy.

It has a delicate scent that smells like alcohol, and it has very little pollen, but can cause allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
