Silver

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This small cactus grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall. The wide stem is silver, and is covered in brittle red spines. The round body is orange, and is covered in hundreds of flexible cyan spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 21 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with caramel petals and a yellow center grows at the top, reappearing after 2 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of raised round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like roses.

The cactus's skin is tough, the sky blue flesh is soft, and the aquamarine sap is thin and causes upset stomachs if consumed.

It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
It comes in 5 varieties, each with a different leaf colour.
