Indigo

This small caudiciform grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The fan-like stem is blue, and is covered in thick bunches of fine, beige, hair-like spines. The bulbous, gentle yellow trunk can grow to as much as 3 feet (91.4 cm) in diameter. Its burgundy branches are tall, rigid and upright.

The wavy-edged, thin leaves are solid gold or caramel, with violet dots. They are hardy, and take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 10 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are generally florescent red; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour grows at the top, reappearing after 7 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a tube made up of 7 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like pepper.

The caudiciform's skin is rock-hard, the indigo flesh is leathery, and the violet sap is thin.
