Copper Succulent

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This modest-sized cactus grows up to 38 feet (11.6 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 6 pleated stems. Each stem is copper, and is covered in hundreds of flexible red spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 8 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are indigo on the underside and pastel blue on the top grows at the top, reappearing after 4 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of 12 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight sphere. It has the faintest scent that smells like pepper.

The cactus's skin is thick, the magenta flesh is waxy, and the bronze sap is thin.

The pollen is extremely toxic to people but not to certain animals.
