Copper

This short caudiciform grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The wispy stem is orange, and is covered in handfuls of flexible copper spines. The wide, blood red trunk can grow to as much as 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter. Its burgundy branches are tall, rigid and upright.

The tattered-edged, asymmetrical leaves are light brown on the sides and red at the center. They are resistant, and take some effort to detach.

It is slow growing, taking 4 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with each petal a slightly different shade of beige grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 14 curved petals. It has a weak scent that smells like rotten egg.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the lime flesh is smooth, and the purple sap is thin.
