Zigzag Amber vine

Climbing plant type: Vine (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This modest-sized vine is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 47 feet (14.3 meters) and growing as high as 938 feet (285.9 meters).

It takes 3 years for the pink-red stems to mature, by which point they can reach a diameter of 2 inches (5 cm) and are smooth and woody.

The perforated, smooth leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are either turquoise, or amber with pink zig-zags, and have wavy edges.

During late spring, the vine produces copious amounts of tiny black flowers, and during the mid-summer, after flowering, it produces a few large seed pods.

It is very rare outside of a particular area.
It usually houses a colony of beneficial insects.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
