Burgundy Succulent

This small cactus grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 2 wispy stems. Each stem is burgundy, and is dotted with small caramel spines.

It is very slow growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are indigo at the sides and purple at the center grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is largely flat with many raised round-tipped petals. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like blood.

The cactus's skin is delicate, the azure flesh is rough, and the beige sap is thin.
