Dyckia ferruginea , what a sight!


Dyckia ferruginea

This is the only Golden dusted Dyckia and one of the rarest of all plants
to present this contidion.

This is a big plant but it is far way from being huge. Adults go up to a adult knee.
I loved this picture, so many details the main one can get loose even in a centered position.
This species has a peculiarity: it is the only Dyckia to preent a vey thin golden sheen all over the thick silver coating. The effect is a golden dusting all over the plant.
This is not seen in any other Dyckia.
