Caramel

This small caudiciform grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. The very thick stem is gray, and is covered in many rigid caramel spines. It has a crooked, very thick, silver trunk atop a narrow platform of smooth, exposed roots. The branches are narrow and burgundy and are short and thick.

The smooth-edged, 5 pointed leaves are blue and olive. They are flimsy, and easily come away when pulled.

It is quick growing, taking 11 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with alternating petals of turquoise and bronze, with a cyan central disk grow at the top, reappearing after 5 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a dish with 37 raised, narrow petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like cigarette smoke.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the faded green flesh is sticky, and the light blue sap is thin.
