Dyckia goehringii ( The ivory Dyckia)



Yes, it is species! Yes it is special!
Yes, it is a wonderful good looking plant.
The silver white scales are so tiny it looks like a wax coat.
Looks like carved into ivory.
I it had not a name it well would be Dyckia goehringii eburnea.
Now enlarge this picture below. Note a beginning of a flowers stem.
It is the first time and it alcove companion already flowered so
it won´t be possible to produce pure strain here.
It will make love to a plain ordinary just beautifull Dyckia goehringii one of those red/wine silvery big toothed plain Dyckia goehringii. The seeds will be pure strain but not eburnea as this one...but..maybe....maybe.

  1. That is one dangerous boy! It will find a good sex life with the breeders! We need to (carefully) embrace what can be done with contrasting and extreme spines. Not all breeding should be for domesticated spineless wimps.
