Pink-Red Spined Cactus

This small cactus grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. It splits near the top to form 3 thick stems. Each stem is pink-red, and is covered in thick bunches of fine, dark brown, hair-like spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 17 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with each petal a slightly different shade of beige grow at the top, reappearing once every 2 years. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 35 curved petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like leather.

The cactus's skin is thin, the grey flesh is rough, and the blood red sap is thin.
