Jade
The Jade vine is currently listed on the endangered species list of the Philippines due to the destruction of the Jade vines natural habitat, the decrease of its natural pollinators, and the illegal exporting of the plant to other countries. Each individual turquoise bloom resembles a butterfly with folded wings and has been designed by nature to be pollinated by bats. The bat hangs upside down to drink the nectar of the flower as the flower deposits its pollen on the back of the bat’s head, which then can be dispersed to pollinate the next flower. The remarkable turquoise blue color is rare among flowering plants. Global Warming Wear offers our Jade textile series to honor the beauty of this amazing flowering vine.
