Magenta

This small cactus grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. The finger-like stem is green, and is covered in handfuls of flexible hazel spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 14 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid magenta petals decorated with sky blue lines and a crimson central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 6 years. The flower head is largely flat with many tightly layered narrow petals. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like petrol.

The cactus's skin is very thick, the sky blue flesh is sticky, and the turquoise sap is thin.
