Dyckia pectinata they all have the very same look

Dyckia pectinata
They are always equal and every Dyckia pectinata as the very same appearance.
Once you saw one you have seen all of them.
Maybe a sole green Dyckia pectinata exists or have existed, we do not know.
There is not a silvery one or a red one, a rubra form or a plain green one.
They are all chestnut colored.
This is a very beautiful plant and you do not need to keep more than a pair or at most three of them to any purposes.
The interesting facts here are two: The spines are soft and the seeds are covered with a kind of
chamois leather cover and this is unique in all known Dyckia species.
