Turquoise creeper

This colossal creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 1,763 feet (537.4 meters) and growing as high as 536 feet (163.4 meters). It prefers to grow on specific trees.

It takes 26 years for the copper and grey stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 3.2 feet (97 cm) and remain soft and fleshy.

The spear shaped, crispy leaves reach up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length. They are solid aquamarine or black, with turquoise splotches, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces dozens of large beige flowers, and during the late summer, after flowering, it produces a handful of large seed pods.
