Serpentine Caudiciform

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

This big caudiciform grows up to 93 feet (28.3 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is emerald, and is covered in large amounts of flexible red spines. The bulbous, bronze trunk can grow to as much as 93 feet (28.3 meters) in diameter. Its yellow-green branches trail down to the ground.

The serrated-edged, 3 pointed leaves are solid pastel green with pastel green lines. They are frail, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 5 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are blue on the underside and washed-out purple on the top grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 18 petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like roses.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the blue flesh is rubbery, and the subtle blue sap is thin.
