Dyckia alba -Rio grande do Sul

Dyckia alba
It grows in the middle of the Southernmost Brazilian state.
It is a mountain named Pedra do Segredo, The Stone of the Secret.
Got its Latin name for the white cotton like structure amid its flowers.
This is one of the rarest Brazilian Dyckias and the odds are you never saw another Dyckia alba plant. It has a good coating of fine silver scales and it is a big not huge plant.
