Copper

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

This short cactus grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. The perforated stem is copper and orange-yellow, and is covered in handfuls of fine, olive, hair-like spines. The tear-shaped body is dull orange and light brown, and is covered in handfuls of fine, olive, hair-like spines.

It is very slow growing, taking 48 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with lime petals and a violet central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 6 years. The flower head is made up of 11 petals in raised layers. It has a strong scent that smells like rotten eggs.

The cactus's skin is thick, the crimson flesh is leathery, and the peach sap is thin.
