It has breathtaking, vibrantly colored flowers. The jade vine is known for its cascading clusters of claw-shaped flowers that come in a stunning turquoise or greenish-blue color. It has a unique pollination mechanism. The jade vine’s flowers are pollinated by bats. The weight of the bat, as it feeds on the nectar, pulls down on the flower, causing pollen to be released and dusted onto the bat’s fur. As the bat flies to another flower, the pollen is transferred, facilitating pollination.
