Bluebell

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

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is green, and is covered in brittle olive spines. The curved, white trunk can grow to as much as 5 feet (1.5 meters) in diameter at the top. Its yellow-green branches are very short and thick and start growing a quarter of the way up the stem.

The small bunches of smooth-edged, fan-like leaves are solid sky blue with orange lines. They are light and frail, and detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 5 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are light grey on the edges and cyan at the center grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 petals. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like soap.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the beige flesh is sticky, and the yellow sap is thin.


It is suitable for making baskets and the like
