Orange-Yellow Cacti

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This enormous cactus grows up to 149 feet (45.4 meters) tall. It splits at the base to form 2 very narrow, elongated stems. Each stem is orange-yellow, and is covered in handfuls of rigid brown spines. The spherical body is cyan, and is dotted with small light brown spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with solid white petals decorated with caramel lines and a brilliant blue central disk grows at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with handfuls of widely spaced narrow petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like cinnamon.

The cactus's skin is very thick, the crimson flesh is leathery, and the aquamarine sap is thin.

It can survive a very long time without water.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
It is bio-luminescent.
