Bluebell

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This short caudiciform grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. The wispy stem is yellow-green, and is covered in sharp spines. It has a angular, wide, black trunk atop a thin mess of smooth, exposed roots. The branches are slender and orange-yellow and are short, rigid and upright.

The serrated-edged, pleated leaves are found in blue and pastel orange varieties. They are tough, and take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with pink petals on the lower layer and olive petals decorated with green dots on the inner layer. The central disk is white grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of 15 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like bonfire smoke.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the amber flesh is leathery, and the magenta sap is thin.


It can survive a long time without water.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
