Aquamarine Spiral

This huge bine is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,812 feet (857.1 meters) and growing as high as 116 feet (35.4 meters).

It takes 23 years for the red stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1.7 feet (51 cm) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The spiral, waxy leaves reach up to 1.4 feet (43 cm) in length. They are solid aquamarine with beige zig-zags, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the bine produces bunches of small gentle red flowers.
