Orange Spikeactus

This big cactus grows up to 98 feet (29.9 meters) tall. The fan-like stem is orange, and is covered in handfuls of fine, green, hair-like spines.

It is slow growing, taking 16 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are lilac at the sides and magenta at the center grows at the top, reappearing after 4 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a sphere with 42 raised, round-tipped petals. It has a soft scent that smells like paint.

The cactus's skin is thick, the blue flesh is smooth, and the caramel sap is thin.
