Redvine

This large flower grows up to 4.2 feet (1.3 meters) tall. Its gray-green stem is very thin and splits into dozens of branching stems halfway up, and the giant, green leaves are perforated with tattered edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and a pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

6 to 12 tiny flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 21 cm (8.3 inches) wide, with red petals on the lower layer and slate petals decorated with white dots on the inner layer. The central disk is copper. The flower head is largely flat with several tightly layered narrow petals. They are sturdy.

It has the faintest scent that smells like petrol, and it has excessive amounts of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by insects and is particularly attractive to a specific species.
