Emerald
Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This small caudiciform grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall. The tapering stem is emerald, and is covered in large amounts of fine, dark red, hair-like spines. It has a twisting, thick, gold trunk atop a thick tripod of silky, exposed roots. The branches are wide and deep green and are very short and thin.
The wavy-edged, long, tapering leaves are gold and black. They are flimsy, but take some effort to detach.
It is quick growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with each petal a slightly different shade of drab blue grow at the top, reappearing once every 7 years. The flower head is shaped like a trumpet with 29 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. It has a strong scent that smells like warm cookies.
The caudiciform's skin is thick, the pink flesh is rough, and the olive sap is thin.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It can survive a very long time without water.
