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

This small caudiciform grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall. The tapering stem is orange, and is covered in copious amounts of fine, brown, hair-like spines. It has a curved, wide, lime trunk atop a narrow tripod of wrinkled, exposed roots. The branches are very thick and orange-yellow and are tall, rigid and upright.

The irregular-edged, very thin leaves are solid red with slate streaks. They are resilient, and do not detach easily.

It is very fast growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with aquamarine petals that gradient shift to green on the outer edge. The central disk is crimson grows at the top, reappearing after 6 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 21 curved petals. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like coffee.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the yellow flesh is rough, and the lilac sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
