Bluevine

This modest-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 31 feet (9.4 meters) and growing as high as 89 feet (27.1 meters).

It takes 15 months for the gray-green stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and are rough and gnarled.

The stiff, pointed, leathery leaves reach up to 1.4 feet (43 cm) in length. They are either crimson, or lilac with orange zig-zags, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces lots of large sky blue flowers.
