Grey Petal

This modest-sized flower grows up to 11 inches (28 cm) tall. Its yellow-green stems grow in bunches of 8 and are thick and straight, and the large, yellow-green leaves are white on the underside and are very thin with tattered edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

4 to 8 large flowers grow on alternate sides up the length of the stem. The flowers are 32 cm (12.6 inches) wide, with solid dark grey petals decorated with cream lines and a dark grey central disk. The flower head is made up of many petals in raised layers. They are very delicate.

It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like fruity, and it has lots of pollen, but it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is pollinated by the wind, but is also particularly attractive to insects.
