Dyckia encholirioides var.spinosissima

This is one of the most beautiful piucture on Dyckias I ever saw.
Took by a proffessional phographer Luiz Hille in Praia do Erwino - Santa Catarina.
Dyckia encholirioides var. spinosissima grows on sand and it is only found on sand.
This species stands temperatures well over 45 centigrades and below zero in Winter. The wind uses to be so strong no trees are found there. South wind may be terribly cold.
