Sunset

Flower type: Perennial (Stores water in its leaves)

This small flower grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall. Its yellow stems grow in bunches of 3 and are very thick and straight, and the tiny, orange-yellow leaves are 3 pointed with ripped edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and more leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Two small flowers sit at the end of the stem. The flowers are 3 cm (1.2 inches) wide, with solid pale red petals and a purple central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 55 curved petals. They fall easily.

It has a delicate scent that smells like glue, and it has lots of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by a small species of bird.
