Santa Catarina is a land of some Dyckia wonders.
This is one of them. The plant is small and would fit any sunny windowsill.
The impressive scaled underleaves contrasts clearly with the olive green
leaves of this small beauty.
It is unnamed and may occur in red, wine and olive colored leaves all with this
pale clear underleaves.
Spines are very hard and harsh to the skin ´cause they are all arched.
Flowers are big and orange.
During the clear bright days of summer these plants get the half inner parts
of the crown tinted in wine and the plant turns bi colored.
Truly a beauty.
