Aquamarine

This large shrub grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 131 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of long and flexible, twisting stems covered in fine, silky, brown-green bark, and the wood inside is black.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with dozens of twigs that and are covered with copious amounts of small, heart-shaped, leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are solid aquamarine or intense orange, with dark yellow patches, robust and clammy.

It produces large amounts of tiny, beige flowers with long, narrow petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like cheap aftershave. In late spring it forms medium-sizedblue berries.
