Crimsonfern

This colossal shrub grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall and lives for around 75 years. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of knobbly, straight stems covered in hard, waxy, light gray bark, and the wood inside is pale brown-grey.

The branches trail down across the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small amounts of large, circular, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are either crimson, or magenta with yellow patches, frail and fuzzy.

It produces dozens of giant, grey flowers with umbrella-shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like wet dog. In midwinter it forms medium-sizedpastel yellow, shelled seeds.
