Emerald Oceanflower

Shrub type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This large shrub grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall and lives for around 57 years. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has several stocky, straight stems covered in paper-thin, silky, pine-coloured bark, and the wood inside is yellow-brown.

The branches are short and slender with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of huge, slender, pointed, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of emerald that gradient shifts to blue at the top, resilient and waxy.

In early spring it produces thousands of medium-sized, peach flowers with broad, flat petals with a bell-shaped floral cup. They detach easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like an ocean breeze.

It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
