Crimson Creeper

This enormous creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,632 feet (802.2 meters) and growing as high as 641 feet (195.4 meters).

It takes 37 years for the copper stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 4.7 feet (1.4 meters) and are smooth and fuzzy.

The wispy, leathery leaves reach up to 1.8 feet (53 cm) in length. They are found in crimson, bronze and violet varieties, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces large amounts of giant red flowers.
