Crimson Copperbell

This enormous caudiciform grows up to 32 feet (9.8 meters) tall. The narrow stem is yellow-green, and is covered in lots of flexible bronze spines. The straight, green trunk can grow to as much as 32 feet (9.8 meters) in diameter at the bottom. Its dark green or lilac branches are long, thin and wispy and start growing halfway up the stem.

The large amounts of smooth-edged, circular leaves are generally crimson. They are delicate, and take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 22 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with each petal a slightly different shade of cyan, grow 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 50 petals. It has a weak scent that smells like freshly baked bread.

The caudiciform's skin is rock-hard, the copper flesh is rough, and the light grey sap is thin.
