Dyckia sp from Painel in Santa Catarina


This Dyckia species comes from a very, very cold area here in Santa Catarina.
In Wintertime the small creeks and waterfalls freeze and everything gets white.
It is one of the rarest places in Brazil wher you can see road signs of ice on the road.


..but do not go on thinking this plant can take  a Chicago like winter
without perishing.
