Violet

This big caudiciform grows up to 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall. The spear shaped stem is yellow-green, and is covered in brittle cream spines. The crooked, cream trunk can grow to as much as 19 feet (5.8 meters) in diameter in the middle. Its pink-red branches are very short and thick and start growing a quarter of the way up the stem.

The handfuls of irregular-edged, perforated leaves are solid violet or grey, with peach splotches. They are resistant, and easily come away when pulled.

It is fast growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with solid pink petals decorated with red dots and a lime central disk, grow at the top, reappearing after 6 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight tube. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like cheese.

The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the washed-out purple flesh is soft, and the amber sap is thin and can cause blindness if consumed.
