This is not a curtain, is a root!

This is the root of Cissus sicyoides, it is also commonly known as Curtain Ivy or Princess Vine. This beautiful lady carries long reddish roots that forming a dense lacy curtain.

It looks like a Mammoth from far, but I am sure she is much more gentler.

This amazing plant is not the true Ivy but is a close relative of grape family.

 Traditionally, it can be used to treat rheumatism, ulcer and diabetes. To me, this is the most elegant doctor I ever met.

  1. Looks interesting. Do the roots generally hang in the open air or is that only for presentation?

  2. Wow, now I’ve seen something else new to me. What a magnificent plant, if only my garden were big enough. Happy New Year. :)

  3. Oh I’d love to have it! It’s so beautiful :)

  4. I love it and I do not having it as a curtain!

  5. That is a beautiful curtain and also nature friendly. I’d like to order for my garden too, Sydney :P

  6. This is so fascinating, Sydney. :)
