Violet Creeper

This enormous creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 3,153 feet (961.0 meters) and growing as high as 648 feet (197.5 meters).

It takes 28 years for the emerald stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 4.2 feet (1.3 meters) and are soft and flexible.

The 4 pointed, waxy leaves reach up to 1.3 feet (41 cm) in length. They are purple on the sides and violet at the center, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces a handful of average gold flowers.
