Coral Creeper

This short creeper is a quick growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 20 feet (6.1 meters) and growing as high as 436 feet (132.9 meters). It prefers to grow on man-made objects.

It takes 7 months for the yellow-green stems to mature, by which point they have tangled themselves into thick mats with a diameter of 1 cm (0.4 inches) and are flat and wavy.

The asymmetrical, rough leaves reach up to 3 inches (8 cm) in length. They are aquamarine at the bottom and red with green patches at the top, and have tattered edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces clusters of tiny beige flowers.
