Glixia - plant characterictics
Glyxia has tiny light-colored inflorescences placed singly on a thin stem. They resemble a daisy or chamomile. The size of the inflorescences varies, ranging from 2 to 6 mm. It is said that even after 10 years one drop of water can make the delicate buds close their petals. When they dry out again, they open as if they were still alive, which is why this species and its close relatives are called sempre-vivas, Portuguese for eternal flowers. Glyxia is harvested in bunches of 50g or 100g. When dried, it does not lose its lovely shape, and the flowers take on a creamier color. Dried marcela can easily be bleached or dyed, so there is an unlimited palette of colors for this plant.
