Copperactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This big cactus grows up to 102 feet (31.1 meters) tall. It splits near the top to form 6 thick stems. Each stem is copper, and is covered in thick sheets of flexible dark brown spines.

It is quick growing, taking 9 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid grey petals decorated with cream lines and a dull blue central disk, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of handfuls of petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight star. It has a strong scent that smells like a woman.

The cactus's skin is thin, the green flesh is sticky, and the deep green sap is thin.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
