Caramel Spine Cactus

This small cactus grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 6 wide stems. Each stem is beige or caramel, and is covered in thick sheets of flexible caramel spines. The mushroom-shaped body is moss green, and is covered in copious amounts of fine, bronze, hair-like spines.

It is quick growing, taking 6 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with petals that are dark brown on the edges and amber at the center grow at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 curved petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like vanilla.

The cactus's skin is thin, the grey flesh is rough, and the beige sap is thin.
