Peachy

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is lime green, and is covered in brittle white spines. The straight, caramel trunk can grow to as much as 5 feet (1.5 meters) in diameter at the bottom. Its yellow-green branches are short stubs and start growing at the top the stem.

The copious amounts of jagged-edged, slender, pointed leaves are yellow-green with peach tips. They are frail, but easily come away when pulled.

It is slow growing, taking 16 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with grey petals that gradient shift to violet on the outer edge. The central disk is gold grow at the top, reappearing once every 4 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. It has an intensely strong scent that smells like musk.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the pink flesh is leathery, and the grey sap is thin.
