Crimson Creeper

This short creeper is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 22 feet (6.7 meters) and growing as high as 343 feet (104.5 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 8 months for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and remain soft and fleshy.

The very narrow and elongated, waxy leaves reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in length. They are either bronze or purple, with black splotches, and have jagged edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thousands of average crimson flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces lots of large fruits.
