Turquoise

This average-sized flower grows up to 1.6 feet (48 cm) tall. Its green stem is wispy, and the miniature, green leaves are long, narrow with smooth edges. The leaves alternate on the stem.

A single giant flower sits at the end of each stem. The flowers are 22 cm (8.7 inches) wide, with petals that are either turquoise or peach, with a yellow center. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of handfuls of raised, round-tipped petals. They are hardy.

It has a weak scent that smells like ashes, and it has very little pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is enjoyed by several specific types of insect.
