Peachleaf Succulent

Succulent type: Leaf succulent (Stores water in its leaves)

This colossal leaf succulent grows up to 179 feet (54.6 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is peach, and is dotted with small grey spines. The toothed-edged, very narrow and elongated leaves are generally cream. Copious amounts of them grow from the base like rose petals. The leaves are robust, and detach easily.

Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with alternating petals of drab red and yellow, with a brilliant blue central disk grows at the top, reappearing after 9 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a tube made up of several tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like a man.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the pink flesh is soft, and the sky blue sap is thin.
