Azureleaf Succulent

This enormous leaf succulent grows up to 128 feet (39.0 meters) tall. The fan-like stem is grey, and is covered in handfuls of flexible lime spines. The bubbly leaves are found in slate, sky blue and azure varieties. Very large amounts of them grow on slender, silver or lilac branches that are very short and slender. The leaves are durable, and take some effort to detach.

It is very slow growing, taking 16 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are turquoise at the sides and blue at the center grows at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with 6 raised round-tipped petals. It has a strong scent that smells like warm milk.

The leaf succulent's skin is nearly impenetrable, the violet flesh is soft, and the grey sap is thin.
