Peach Trumpetvine

Flower type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This small flower grows up to 1 inch (3 cm) tall. Its gray stem is wispy, and the miniature, green leaves are spear shaped with tattered edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

Around 70 medium-sized flowers grow in a bunch at the end of the stem. The flowers are 5 cm (2.0 inches) wide, with petals that are generally peach; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour. The flower head is made up of several petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight trumpet. They are hardy.

It has an overpowering scent that smells like damp, and it has very little pollen. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.

It can absorb up to 16 times its own weight in water.
