Its flowers are the color of a jade ranging from blue-green to mint green, depending on the variety of the vine. hybrid jade vines are longer measuring up to .90 meters long - 1.5 meters. The vine blooms in grape like structure amounting to 75 or more. the blooms come out from pruned and mature vines only. Each bloom resembles the form of a stout bodied butterfly with folded wings or the head of an angle with crown if not the head of an Indian chief with a long beard and a longer ornate headdress.
