At the 2022 Spring Festival Gala, a dance piece entitled “Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting” has surprised the audience. At the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, there is a vine called Jade Vine. It has a rare cyan color, which is similar to the tone of the dance piece. Now this “fantastic plant” has entered the blooming stage, let’s see how beautiful it is!

Jade Vine in full bloom has small flowers clustered into a spectacular inflorescence reaching 90cm to 150cm in length. The most special thing about it is cyan color of its flowers, which is unique and attractive among all kinds of pink and red flowers in the spring.
