Aquamarine Leaf Shrub

This big shrub grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 130 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many wide, straight stems covered in ridged, dark gray bark, and the wood inside is silver.

The branches are short and thick with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of large, very thin, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are either cyan, or red with aquamarine splotches, rigid and leathery.

In early summer it produces many large, white flowers with stiff, pointed petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a faint scent that smells like coconut.
