Bluebellactus

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

This short cactus grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 6 thick stems. Each stem is blue, and is covered in handfuls of rigid olive spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 11 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are peach on the edges and white at the center grow at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is made up of many petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. It has a strong scent that smells like perfume.

The cactus's skin is thick, the hazel flesh is slimy, and the blood red sap is thin and causes vomiting if consumed.

The bark is frequently covered in moss.
All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It is suitable for making strong rope
