Turquoise vine

This short vine is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 15 feet (4.6 meters) and growing as high as 133 feet (40.5 meters).

It takes 5 months for the gray stems to mature, by which point they each have a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and are rough and woody.

The perforated, fuzzy leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are solid turquoise with azure streaks, and have irregular edges.

During late spring, the vine produces a handful of average magenta flowers.
