Bloodvine

This short cactus grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 4 perforated stems. Each stem is lime green or blue, and is covered in thousands of flexible white spines. The cuboid body is blood red or gold, and is covered in thousands of rigid orange spines.

It is fast growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid caramel petals decorated with red lines and a beige central disk grow at the top, reappearing once every 8 years. The flower head is shaped like a sphere with 54 raised, round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like vanilla.

The cactus's skin is thick, the silver flesh is waxy, and the yellow sap is thin.
