Whispering Sunflower

This small flower grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Its orange stem is wispy, and the large, yellow-green leaves are wide with rounded edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Hundreds of medium-sized flowers grow in bunches along the stem. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of beige. The flower head is shaped like a sphere made up of 14 tightly layered, narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a strong scent that smells like leather, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by one species of insect in particular.
