Giant Creeper Vine

This enormous creeper is a very slow growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 2,828 feet (862.0 meters) and growing as high as 531 feet (161.8 meters). It prefers to grow on trees.

It takes 7 years for the gray stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 2.5 feet (76 cm) and are smooth and woody.

The 8 pointed, soft leaves reach up to 1.0 foot (30 cm) in length. They are solid pink or olive, with black lines, and have serrated edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces thousands of giant light purple flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces plenty of tiny seed pods.
