Indigo

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is orange-yellow, and is covered in thousands of flexible intense orange spines. The curved, yellow trunk can grow to as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter in the middle. Its moss green branches trail down across the ground and start growing at the base the stem.

The large amounts of smooth-edged, spear shaped leaves are either indigo, or orange with copper patches. They are frail, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 21 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with silver petals on the lower layer and crimson petals decorated with slate dots on the inner layer. The central disk is violet grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 10 petals in raised layers. It has a weak scent that smells like new carpet.

The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the white flesh is waxy, and the blue sap is thin and causes upset stomachs if consumed.
