Thorned Blueleaf

This short leaf succulent grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. The very thick stem is emerald, and is covered in many rigid magenta spines. The smooth-edged, oval-shaped leaves are blue on the edges and brown at the center. Handfuls of them grow from the base in tight-packed layers. The leaves are rigid, but are very difficult to pull away.

It is fast growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with solid hazel petals and a bright purple central disk grows at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 24 petals. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like warm cookies.

The leaf succulent's skin is rock-hard, the sky blue flesh is smooth, and the olive sap is thin.
