Caramel

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 23 feet (7.0 meters) tall. The spear shaped stem is olive and caramel, and is covered in thick sheets of rigid silver spines. The stumpy, orange trunk can grow to as much as 23 feet (7.0 meters) in diameter. Its burgundy branches are short, rigid and upright.

The smooth-edged, wide leaves are generally bronze. They are flimsy, but do not detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with solid dull purple petals decorated with black dots and a peach central disk grow at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 42 curved petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like glue.

The caudiciform's skin is nearly impenetrable, the orange flesh is waxy, and the sky blue sap is thin.
