Golden Spine Caudiciform

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is green, and is covered in handfuls of fine, vibrant yellow, hair-like spines. The straight, orange trunk can grow to as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter in the middle. Its orange branches trail down towards the ground and start growing halfway up the stem.

The small amounts of toothed-edged, perforated leaves are generally deep green. They are hardy, but are very difficult to pull away.

It is very fast growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are either white or brilliant red, with a yellow center grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 curved petals. It has a faint scent that smells like rotten meat.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the indigo flesh is smooth, and the olive sap is thin.
