Black Spine Cactus

This small cactus grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 3 slender, pointed stems. Each stem is black, and is covered in sharp spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are crimson on the edges and pink at the center grows at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of several raised, round-tipped petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like faeces.

The cactus's skin is thick, the caramel flesh is rough, and the ashy green sap is thin.
