Creamspine

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

This short caudiciform grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The sickle shaped stem is gray-green, and is covered in thick bunches of flexible cream spines. The twisting, cream trunk can grow to as much as 1 foot (30.5 cm) in diameter in the middle. Its silver branches trail down towards the ground and start growing halfway up the stem.

The handfuls of smooth-edged, thick leaves are white on the edges and vibrant green at the center. They are rigid, but do not detach easily.

It is quick growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with blood red petals and a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing once every 6 years. The flower head is shaped like a cube made up of dozens of tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like freshly baked bread.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the hazel flesh is rough, and the azure sap is thin.


It can flourish even in standing water.
It is suitable for making strong rope
