At the home of Chieko Yogi in Shuritera, Naha, a jade vine is blooming beautifully.
Her neighbors are enjoying the lovely jade color. According to Yogi, the flowers will probably last until the end of March.
The jade vine is a climbing plant native to Luzon in the Philippines.
It can grow up to 20 meters long. The flowers are five centimeters long and resemble the beak of a parrot.
Yogi received the potted vine from her hula teacher two-and-a-half years ago.
Since planting it in her garden, she has eagerly watched the vine grow.
Yogi loves the color. Even her nail polish is jade. She says that she used to drive a jade car as well.
On March 6, neighbors visited again and enjoyed taking pictures of the jade vine.
Yogi happily says that the vine has become a reason to “call friends and bring people together.”
