Cyan

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This big caudiciform grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is orange-yellow, and is covered in brittle crimson spines. The straight, orange trunk can grow to as much as 8 feet (2.4 meters) in diameter in the middle. Its yellow-green branches trail down to the ground and start growing at the top the stem.

The copious amounts of serrated-edged, wispy leaves are cyan and gold. They are light, but detach easily.

It is very slow growing, taking 14 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are olive in the center, yellow in the middle and washed-out blue at the edges, grow at the top, reappearing after 7 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of 8 petals in raised layers. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like pot-purri.

The caudiciform's skin is delicate, the green flesh is slimy, and the violet sap is thin.


It is suitable for making strong rope
