Copper Blue

This modest-sized cactus grows up to 41 feet (12.5 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is gray, and is covered in lots of rigid hazel spines.

It is quick growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid blue petals decorated with copper lines and a white central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 25 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight bowl. It has a powerful scent that smells like cheap aftershave.

The cactus's skin is delicate, the yellow flesh is smooth, and the amber sap is thin.
