Crimson Needle Cactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This large cactus grows up to 107 feet (32.6 meters) tall. The needle-like stem is pink-red, and is covered in brittle crimson spines. The round body is pink-red, and is covered in large amounts of flexible subtle green spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are either olive or muted purple, with a yellow center grows at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 curved petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like sweat.

The cactus's skin is thick, the pink flesh is smooth, and the indigo sap is thin.


It blooms only at night.
