Copper

This short cactus grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 5 thin stems. Each stem is red, and is covered in large amounts of flexible white spines.

It is quick growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are either copper or blue, with a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a cup with 15 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like petrol.

The cactus's skin is thick, the green flesh is sticky, and the indigo sap is thin.
