Dyckia encolirioides

Dyckias are fantastic plants in many ways.
They are the many blooms bromeliads and this is their main highlight for they do not melt after blooming.
They are long lived creatures. Other bromeliads just melt in a disgusting foetid sight after you have done all the right things in order to make them bloom. They die in front of you. So you keep on asking Heavens to not let them bloom.
Those of you who already had a huge rare variegated Alcantareae imperialis knows quite well what I mean. You both won´t share a long enduring coexistence here. Also to get rid of the corpse is a Herculean work no doubt.
Dyckias are just like macaws once you get one it is for life.
Dyckias keep on going bloom after bloom.
Here in Erwino Beach it was found a Dyckia encholirioides presenting a reptile trunk with more than 500 years! The sand dunes covered the several meters long trunk while the plant happily
flowered atop of it.
Dyckias do not hang on a tree. Plants that lives on trees rely on it to survive. Once the tree dies the plant succumbs to. Normally bromeliads that lives perched not not live longer than their perch. So they are used to dying and continue to do so no matter where they are.
Dyckias are many blooms bromeliads. Aging here means getting better and better. The older a Dyckia gets the best it is in all and any respects.
Dyckias...nothing compares to them!
