Copper

This enormous flower grows up to 16.5 feet (5.0 meters) tall. Its yellow stem is thin, and the large, copper leaves are brown on the underside and are long, tapering with smooth edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves alternate on the stem from about halfway up, up to the flower head.

Each stem splits 4 to 10 times; a single giant flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 40 cm (15.7 inches) wide, with each petal a slightly different shade of orange. The flower head is made up of 10 petals in raised layers. They are very delicate.

It has a faint scent that smells like cheap aftershave, and it has copious amounts of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by a small species of bird.
