A full and gorgeous variegation. Dyckia monticola

Variegation is a very rare event amid Dyckias and a full colorful one is the rare amid rare.

This plant is a seedling!

Now it is spliting its head. A nice hope for a clone.

At the first sight one would tell they are the same. They are not!


 

Above, a Dyckia encholirioides hybrid I made using another southern native Dyckia.It is about blooming by the very first time.

Below, a Dyckia sp from minas Gerais. Compare foliage. They seem to be the very same but... compare the flower stalk.




A day after:

 






 

Dyckia paraensis the most extravagant and weird Dyckia, now blooming



 

Dyckia monticola variegated in full, a sight to behold

Full complete colorful variagations are extremely rare and just a very very few

are known amid Dyckias.

A new Dyckia from Minas Gerais, a green one



Brazil is a vast country and  we do not have deserts nor ice covered fields.
Every square foot is green year around. Nature  found a place to be diverse
in Brazil and we are finding new plants, insects, fishes, birds ... in a daily basis.
