Cactulian Bluebell

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This short caudiciform grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The pleated stem is silver, and is covered in dozens of rigid pastel yellow spines. The thick, gnarled, bronze trunk can grow to as much as 3 feet (91.4 cm) in diameter. Its yellow branches are very long and slender.

The ripped-edged, sickle shaped leaves are green with aquamarine tips. They are hardy, and take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 13 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are either caramel or crimson, with a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing once every 7 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like wet dog.

The caudiciform's skin is very thick, the muted blue flesh is sticky, and the azure sap is thin and has hallucinogenic properties.


It comes in 13 varieties.
