Emerald
Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The slender, pointed stem is emerald, and is covered in handfuls of flexible gold spines. The crooked, grey trunk can grow to as much as 3 feet (91.4 cm) in diameter in the middle. Its orange-yellow branches are short stubs and start growing at the base the stem.
The large amounts of irregular-edged, long, narrow leaves are solid red with pink dots. They are frail, and take some effort to detach.
It is very fast growing, taking 10 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are cyan on the underside and brown on the top, grow at the top, reappearing once every 6 years. The flower head is shaped like a trumpet with 51 tightly layered, narrow petals. It has a fairly strong scent that smells like rotten egg.
The caudiciform's skin is nearly impenetrable, the olive flesh is rough, and the olive sap is thin and has hallucinogenic properties.
Several parts of the vine have medicinal properties.
