Azureleaf Succulent

This big leaf succulent grows up to 96 feet (29.3 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is silver, and is covered in brittle intense orange spines. The tattered-edged, wide leaves are azure on the sides and hazel at the center. Thick bunches of them grow from the base in random directions. The leaves are resistant, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 5 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are either dark grey or purple, with a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with handfuls of widely spaced narrow petals. It has a strong scent that smells like something putrid.

The leaf succulent's skin is tough, the white flesh is waxy, and the azure sap is thin.
