Bloodfire Succulent

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall. The spear shaped stem is yellow-green, and is covered in thick sheets of fine, blood red, hair-like spines. The wide, bronze trunk can grow to as much as 18 feet (5.5 meters) in diameter. Its red branches are short stubs.

The ripped-edged, circular leaves are florescent orange and beige. They are durable, and take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are crimson at the sides and blue at the center grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a bowl with 15 raised, narrow petals. It has a soft scent that smells like vanilla.

The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the copper flesh is smooth, and the silver sap is thin.
