Turquoise

Flower type: Perennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its black or yellow stem is very thin and splits into several branching stems at the top, and the giant, gray-green and yellow-green leaves are stiff, pointed with serrated edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Each stem splits 2 to 7 times; a single medium-sized flower grows at the end of each split. The flowers are 6 cm (2.4 inches) wide, with petals that are either turquoise or peach, with a yellow center. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 60 curved petals. They are sturdy.

It has a delicate scent that smells like sweat, and it has a modest amount of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects , but is also visited by a small species of bird.


It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
