Golden Creeper

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small creeper is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 11 feet (3.4 meters) and growing as high as 108 feet (32.9 meters).

It takes 8 months for the gold stems to mature, by which point they sometimes have a diameter of 3 cm (1.2 inches) and are tough and woody.

The finger-like, soft leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are orange at the bottom and cream with pink dots at the top, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thick bunches of giant florescent green flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces a modest amount of tiny fruits.

It can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in water.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
