Azure Leaf Succulent

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

This short leaf succulent grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall. The wispy stem is orange, and is covered in brittle cream spines. The thick leaves are green and blue. Sparse amounts of them grow on flat, pink-red branches that are short stubs. The leaves are delicate, but take some effort to detach.

It is slow growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with petals that are gentle orange on the edges and hazel at the center grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a cup made up of many widely spaced, narrow petals. It has a delicate scent that smells like cheese.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the azure flesh is rough, and the crimson sap is thin and causes upset stomachs if consumed.

It is often home to a particular bird species.
It is suitable for making paper
Once on fire, it burns very quickly.
