Silverbell

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This massive caudiciform grows up to 22 feet (6.7 meters) tall. The fan-like stem is silver, and is dotted with small washed-out yellow spines. The curved, yellow trunk can grow to as much as 22 feet (6.7 meters) in diameter at the bottom. Its orange-yellow or indigo branches are very long and slender and start growing at the base the stem.

The small bunches of jagged-edged, wide leaves are blood red and purple. They are resilient, but detach easily.

It is very slow growing, taking 46 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with violet petals that gradient shift to lime on the outer edge. The central disk is light grey grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 37 curved petals. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like bleach.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the green flesh is waxy, and the cyan sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
