Blueleaf

Shrub type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 137 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many long and flexible, straight stems covered in hard, cracked, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is pine-coloured.

The branches are very long and slender with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with very large amounts of giant, needle-like, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either beige or bright blue, with yellow patches, rigid and sticky.

In mid-summer it produces a handful of large, dark brown flowers with asymmetrical petals. They are sturdy and have a delicate scent that smells like rainy days.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It out-competes most other plants for nutrients and light.
