Dyckia argentea



Dyckia argentea
Yes, species and...and rare, baby.
Do you remember that polka doted Zebra? Plain common place!



Science was so precise, so careful in order to hide its findings as they were the last ticket to Heavens the guys lost track of this creature.
Yes , this is a phantom!!!!
This a true species and yes this is Dyckia argentea!
How did I get it?
We are having a popular TV series and one character says constantly when put into a corner:
"I´d rather not to comment!"
So I do the same and make hers, my words:
I would rather not to comment....



These plants here are a true miracle.
Yes they came from the wilderness, yes.

They still have much to improve and
I also have the rubra form of it and just for pure

luck and in spite all odds.



Imagine, all reports and descriptions are so well guarded that
what was left is a kind of Dodo empty
egg shell in the British Museum of Natural History or

Something like that.
Moths´ leftovers into an abandoned drawer.
Publications? Yes, one is obliged to publish the description of a new plant.
Here publish means put into a bulletin directed to the scientists to read... no, I am positively sure even them will.
Nobel prize? What?What is this?
Not a single one, an only one!

Ask them why and they will blame everyone and everything but never themselves.
That is why our plants have stranger names like Dyckia a far grotesque name and a totally unreasonably one.
We, our native Indians had a name for these plants for more than a millennium. They had already named these plants long before Columbus arrived Central America to begin the great destruction in total ignorance and greed.
Gravatá or Garavatá is the Tupy/Guarani name for them. This word is understood in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and so on...the whole Dyckia territory.
Science was ever biased and full of prejudice.
That is why a ridiculous German prince got the honor.
Time to change that. Time to correct that error.
That outrageous one against our native indian name.

We must get back and redo, remake and make it better!
Maybe for the first time ever, thinking.

Gravata argentea!

Sounds better
and definitely better. No doubt!
