Burgundy Succulent

This average-sized cactus grows up to 23 feet (7.0 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 5 very thin stems. Each stem is burgundy, and is covered in thousands of flexible dark brown spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 5 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with cyan petals that gradient shift to orange on the outer edge. The central disk is sky blue, grow at the top, reappearing after 4 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of widely spaced narrow petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like grass cuttings.

The cactus's skin is tough, the olive flesh is rough, and the amber sap is thin.
