Silverdish

This small flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its brown stem is very thin and splits into numerous branching stems three quarters of the way up, and the miniature, silver leaves are fan-like with toothed edges. A pair of leaves grow at the base of the stem.

A single tiny flower sits at the end of the stem. The flowers are 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide, with solid light grey petals decorated with beige lines and a olive central disk. The flower head is shaped like a dish with 32 tightly layered, narrow petals. They detach easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like bleach, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by a small species of bird.
