Default Little Hairy Blue balls!
This is a tropical Blueberry from the New World. Sphyrospermum buxifolium first caught my eye at the New York Botaincal Gardens in their Tropical Blueberry collection, and I knew I had to find it and get it. So I got myself some seeds and threw them into my vivariums. Here is the first of the seedlings to grow into maturity and bloom. It is a vine that is now throwing tiny little bell-shaped flowers (the blueberry family resemblance is remarkable). Enjoy.
