Orange-Spined Succulent

This short leaf succulent grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The stiff, pointed stem is emerald, and is covered in sharp spines. The finger-like leaves are grey and orange. Very large amounts of them grow on stocky, orange-yellow branches that trail down towards the ground. The leaves are delicate, but detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 12 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with slate petals and a yellow center grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 60 curved petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like rotten eggs.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the yellow flesh is soft, and the dark grey sap is thin.
