Bluorange Creeper

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

This short creeper is a very fast growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 6 feet (1.8 meters) and growing as high as 120 feet (36.6 meters).

It takes 2 months for the orange-yellow stems to mature, by which point they often have a diameter of 2 cm (0.8 inches) and remain soft and fleshy.

The sickle shaped, sticky leaves reach up to 5 inches (13 cm) in length. They are blue at the bottom and vibrant orange with indigo streaks at the top, and have smooth edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces lots of tiny dark brown flowers, and during the early winter, after flowering, it produces lots of very large fruits.

It is very resistant to fire damage.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It usually houses a colony of beneficial insects.
