Crimson Spikeactus

This small cactus grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. It splits near the top to form 4 asymmetrical stems. Each stem is green, and is dotted with small vivid red spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid intense green petals and a pink central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 10 curved petals. It has a faint scent that smells like burning wood.

The cactus's skin is thick, the dark purple flesh is waxy, and the blood red sap is thin.
