Orangevine

This huge vine is a slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 3,215 feet (979.9 meters) and growing as high as 506 feet (154.2 meters). It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 45 years for the orange stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 3.8 feet (1.2 meters) and are smooth and waxy.

The needle-like, waxy leaves reach up to 3.8 feet (1.2 meters) in length. They are gentle purple on the sides and bronze at the center, and have rounded edges.

During late spring, the vine produces thick bunches of tiny caramel flowers, and during the early summer, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny seed pods.
