Dyckia delicata true forms or..two crowns in a garden...

Three coins in a fountain ...ups! No! Two crowns in a garden each one
seeking for the light. Planted by...a dreamer gardener. Which one will the sun...shine on?
Well who doesn´t remember that song?
Three coins in a fountain...each one seeking happiness..thrown by three hopeful lovers...
which one will the fountain bless?
..and I am 55 and I still have coins to be thrown. This movie and the song in the voice of Frank Sinatra were released in June 1954. We are all 55!
Dreams!
Those plants here were found after dreaming. The only picture available was no larger than
those one Cent Post Stamp. To get to these jewels in wilderness
was and adventure with all its contents.
Her you see two forms of Dyckia delicata. Yes two nature forms indeed!
The plant was described as bearing only one outlook...but ...
there are the describe form which is a wonderful colored plant presenting all sorts of greys and silvers.
Also we found some totally silvered and covered by a heavy coat of silver scales.
What does this all mean?
This species will for sure present many, many outlooks and outfits if sown
by the thousand. Thousands seeds will come up with surprises.
...and the dream is under way.....
