Bluebell Succulent
Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This massive caudiciform grows up to 29 feet (8.8 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is brown, and is covered in hundreds of fine, white, hair-like spines. The straight, green trunk can grow to as much as 29 feet (8.8 meters) in diameter at the bottom. Its silver branches trail down across the ground and start growing halfway up the stem.
The copious amounts of serrated-edged, crescent-shaped leaves are either pastel purple, or azure with blue patches. They are sturdy, but take little effort to detach.
It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with silver petals and a red central disk grows at the top, reappearing after 8 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 petals. It has a strong scent that smells like glue.
The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the black flesh is rubbery, and the vibrant blue sap is thin.
