Bloodvine

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This large shrub grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for around 47 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several very thick, curved stems covered in rough, burgundy and brown bark, and the wood inside is dark brown.

The branches are short, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of huge, circular, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are either blood red, or indigo with vibrant orange streaks, flexible and rough.

In late summer it produces thousands of medium-sized, pink flowers with wide petals. They are sturdy and have an intense scent that smells like misty mornings.

It releases hallucinogenic smoke when burned.
