Bronze Succulent

This giant leaf succulent grows up to 155 feet (47.2 meters) tall. The tapering stem is yellow and yellow-green, and is covered in thousands of rigid bronze spines. The serrated-edged, thin leaves are found in faded green, blood red and bronze varieties. Large amounts of them grow from the base in random directions. The leaves are delicate, and do not detach easily.

It is slow growing, taking 33 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with solid blood red petals decorated with caramel dots and a blue central disk grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 7 petals in raised layers. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like faeces.

The leaf succulent's skin is rock-hard, the brown flesh is rubbery, and the gentle orange sap is thin and causes diarrhea if consumed.
