Crimson Spindle

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

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 32 feet (9.8 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is gray-green, and is covered in brittle lime spines. The bulbous, crimson trunk can grow to as much as 32 feet (9.8 meters) in diameter. Its moss green branches are short and slender.

The smooth-edged, oval-shaped leaves are yellow and cyan. They are durable, and take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 4 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are pale yellow at the sides and white at the center grows at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of several petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. It has an overpowering scent that smells like glue.

The caudiciform's skin is extremely thick, the indigo flesh is smooth, and the amber sap is thin.
