Goldfinger Creeper

This big creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 264 feet (80.5 meters) and growing as high as 93 feet (28.3 meters).

It takes 3 years for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 8 inches (20 cm) and are rough and woody.

The finger-like, clammy leaves reach up to 1.6 feet (48 cm) in length. They are white on the sides and pink at the center, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces copious amounts of large gold flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces lots of tiny fruits.
