Turquoise

This large caudiciform grows up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall. The pleated stem is gray-green, and is covered in large amounts of flexible florescent green spines. The slanted, dark brown trunk can grow to as much as 20 feet (6.1 meters) in diameter at the top. Its pale yellow or olive branches trail down towards the ground and start growing a quarter of the way up the stem.

The copious amounts of irregular-edged, sickle shaped leaves are either turquoise, or yellow with white streaks. They are resistant, but detach easily.

It is slow growing, taking 46 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid amber petals decorated with yellow lines and a red central disk grow at the top, reappearing once every 8 years. The flower head is shaped like a bowl with 28 tightly layered, narrow petals. It has a weak scent that smells like rotten egg.

The caudiciform's skin is delicate, the lime flesh is smooth, and the grey sap is thin and can cause blindness if consumed.
