A genus of flowering plants with papery, colorful flower heads that retain their appearance when dried.
From Greek akron 'peak' + klino 'to lean.' The name possibly refers to the clustered flower heads or their tilted appearance in certain species.
Acroclinium flowers are beloved by florists because they're immortal—the petals are so papery that they dry perfectly and keep their bright colors for years on display!
