Turquoise Vine

This short vine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 22 feet (6.7 meters) and growing as high as 37 feet (11.3 meters).

It takes 3 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are soft and flexible.

The long, narrow, smooth leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are solid grey with orange streaks, and have toothed edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a handful of large turquoise flowers.
