Violet Thornrose

This colossal leaf succulent grows up to 131 feet (39.9 meters) tall. The narrow stem is lime green and pastel green, and is covered in handfuls of fine, dark grey, hair-like spines. The toothed-edged, thin leaves are lilac and caramel. Very large amounts of them grow from the base like rose petals. The leaves are resilient, and detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are slate on the underside and pink on the top grow at the top, reappearing once every 9 years. The flower head is made up of 48 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. It has a weak scent that smells like blood.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the violet flesh is smooth, and the grey sap is thin.
