Pink-red

This small leaf succulent grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall. The pleated stem is pink-red, and is covered in sharp spines. The irregular-edged, long, narrow leaves are silver on the sides and gold at the center. Copious amounts of them grow from the base in alternating layers of 2, then 4, then 6, and so on. The leaves are flexible, and detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 15 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with alternating petals of grey and light grey, with a lime central disk, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 12 petals in raised layers. It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like roses.

The leaf succulent's skin is delicate, the sky blue flesh is rubbery, and the yellow sap is thin.
