Cyan Spine Cactus

This average-sized cactus grows up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) tall. It splits at the base to form 2 very thick stems. Each stem is moss green, and is covered in large amounts of flexible cyan spines.

It is quick growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are hazel in the center, aquamarine in the middle and aquamarine at the edges, grow at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is shaped like a tube made up of 11 raised, narrow petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like burning wood.

The cactus's skin is very thick, the caramel flesh is rough, and the cyan sap is thin.
