Dyckia lindelvaldeae



The plant Dyckia lindelvaldeae is a wonder in itself, rare, small, silvery to the extreme.
wide leaved and well architetured but the flowers are a shame besides being
terribly stinking.
Dyckias in general are poor flowered.

  1. A lost friend of mine, who died from A.I.D.S. wanted me to make a hybrid of great beauty which bloomed with a terrible stink. The name would be "Logic" after a quote from Spock, of Star Trek. The point would be that logic is only as good as its assumptions. Bad assumptions=bad results, even if the logic itself was rational and beautiful.
    It might need a cross with a large flowered species and a generation or two of selections to get rearrianged genes.
