Blood Red Succulent

This big cactus grows up to 94 feet (28.7 meters) tall. The wide stem is green, and is covered in thousands of flexible blood red spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 2 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are turquoise in the center, dark brown in the middle and violet at the edges grows at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of 9 petals in raised layers. It has a delicate scent that smells like fruity.

The cactus's skin is delicate, the turquoise flesh is rough, and the cyan sap is thin.
