Aquamarine Succulent

This small caudiciform grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall. The finger-like stem is lime green, and is covered in thick sheets of rigid aquamarine spines. It has a wonky, very thick, cream trunk atop a thick, gnarled mess of rough, exposed roots. The branches are stocky and green and are very short and thin.

The smooth-edged, needle-like leaves are solid bronze or drab blue, with beige patches. They are hardy, but take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with alternating petals of caramel and aquamarine, with a yellow central disk grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of 16 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like freshly washed clothes.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the pastel purple flesh is rough, and the turquoise sap is thin.
