Copperbell

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

This colossal caudiciform grows up to 119 feet (36.3 meters) tall. The needle-like stem is copper, and is dotted with small red spines. It has a straight, stocky, beige trunk atop a very thick ball of wrinkled, exposed roots. The branches are bulbous and white and are long and thin.

The toothed-edged, asymmetrical leaves are solid intense red or lime, with gold dots. They are flimsy, and are very difficult to pull away.

It is steady-growing, taking 13 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are yellow on the underside and purple on the top, grow at the top, reappearing after 2 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 60 petals. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like bleach.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the amber flesh is smooth, and the green sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It can grow in even the most barren lands.
