| I was talking to an artist who had painted a picture of some really pretty blue blossoms and I asked her what kind of plant it was and she said a friend's jade plant from Lawai. I came home and looked on the internet, but it doesn't show any blue flowers on jade plants. Anybody know what it was ? |

| Does it grow from cuttings? Maybe you'll have to try seeds (if available) or even buy a plant (if available). Native to Philippines, where deforestation has been terrible during modern times and therefore endangered in the wild. |

Hi
look up Strongylodon macrobotrys . Called green jade vine. But i call the color turquoise Another is Mucuna bennettii red jade vine Similar growth habit but brilliant red orange color. Got to be among the world most gorgeous vines . If I lived in Hawaii I'd have at least a dozen of each lol. Both are native to Asia. gary |

| I tried growing some jade vine a couple times, no luck, died. Too bad, was really looking forward to making some nice leis with them. |

| We just got some rain and mine (which is still pretty small) flushed out some new growth all of a sudden and the leaves are really pretty. |
