| Plant Description | This herbaceous perennial emerges from a fleshy rhizome and exhibits a scandent growth habit, climbing with the aid of specialized leaf-tip tendrils. Its slender stem can extend up to 4 meters (13 feet) in length. The leaves are primarily arranged alternately, though some may appear in opposite pairs. They have a somewhat lanceolate shape, ending in tendrils, and typically measure between 13 and 20 cm (5.1 to 7.9 inches) in length. The plant produces striking flowers with six elongated tepals, each reaching 5 to 7.6 cm (2.0 to 3.0 inches) in length. As they mature, the tepals display vibrant hues ranging from bright red to orange, often featuring yellowish bases. | ||
