Dyckia noelii

This magnificent, exuberant, spectacular and astonishing
Dyckia is not described yet.
Native to a very small and secluded rocky spot in
Northeastern Santa Catarina.
The contrast between the upper and the lower leaf sides are
something out from this world.
It seems the light comes from the plant.
There is a rarer green form.
Blooms in big orange flowers attached to a strong unbranched stalk.
Seeds are very big and abundant and germinates promptly.
Another weird characteristic aspect of this plant is its the sparse spination.
