Aquamarinebell

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 173 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several slender, wavy stems covered in ridged, black bark, and the wood inside is yellow-brown.

The branches are short stubs with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of large, perforated, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are gray-green with aquamarine tips, durable and soft.

In early spring it produces several giant, sky blue flowers with spear shaped petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have an overpowering scent that smells like vomit.
