Dyckia eruca bloom: wow!


Dyckia eruca
(Species! Undescribed! Eruca=Burning)
The plants, four in total, were found in a campfire. They all burned
but Noeli insisted and we brought what we found.
The foliage is red and we were surprised ´cause it reminds us the plant literally came from the fire, fire ashes like the phoenix.
Now look at the Flowers! They are red as the fire.
The flowers are beginning to open. Will it open in full?
Pictures of this plant here you find on this blog in older posts.
We have a second plant emitting flower spike.
That one we will very careful try self in order to get the plant back to its place.
This is a very serious matter. We should not do that unless we are absolutely sure the plant or the seedlings are pure true species!!
For this to happen we will carry the plant to a sixty kilometer away from here.
There the garden has no Dyckia at all.
This plant here is impossible to carry. It is sharing quarters with other plants and the pot is gigantic.
See the texture of this flower apparatus. Note the floral bracts, the colors...
