Dyckia marnier - lapostollei var. estevesii



Dyckia marnier-lapostollei var. estevessii

This variety of Dyckia marnier - lapostollei is recognized by its flowers.
All Dyckias marnier-lapostolei blooms in long semi erect and a bit branched flower stalk.
Their flowers are nothing to mention in terms of beauty in fact they are a true shame when we talk about flowers here with the Marniers Dyckias.
As they have a very wide wild territory they have some varieties not just this one here.
All varieties are superb plants and a deception in terms of flowers.
None bears flowers at plenty. Just some in a long slender stalk.
Some flowers are deep red and the majority of the varieties bears orange flowers.
This variety here Dyckia marnier-lapostollei var. estevessi doesn´t eve open well its flowers. The flower remains closed and just some contents are something as vomited out.
But, but...if the flowers are a shame the plant itself is stunning.
Ah, this is not self fertile!
