Bluevine

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 37 feet (11.3 meters) and growing as high as 695 feet (211.8 meters). It prefers to grow on specific trees.

It takes 4 years for the blue stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and are smooth and slick.

The asymmetrical, waxy leaves reach up to 1.1 feet (33 cm) in length. They are brown on the edges and yellow at the center, and have wavy edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces several small deep purple flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces copious amounts of small fruits.

It is extremely resistant to fire damage.
Offering it in a bouquet is supposed to bring good luck.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
