Violet

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

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The wide stem is gray-green, and is covered in sharp spines. The crooked, olive trunk can grow to as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter in the middle. Its emerald branches trail down to the ground and start growing a quarter of the way up the stem.

The thick bunches of smooth-edged, perforated leaves are solid violet with indigo dots. They are strong, but take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are either grey or peach, with a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of handfuls of tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like citrus.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the black flesh is rough, and the amber sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
