Copper Creeper

Climbing plant type: Creeper (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 22 feet (6.7 meters) and growing as high as 820 feet (249.9 meters).

It takes 4 months for the orange stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are tough and woody.

The fan-like, crispy leaves reach up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length. They are a shade of green that gradient shifts to copper at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces several average deep green flowers, and during the late autumn, after flowering, it produces a handful of large seed pods.

It blooms only at night.

It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
