Dyckia companion Sinningia speciosa jurapensis

Sinningia speciosa loves the very same treatment a Dyckia crave for so they are a perfect pairing.
Fascination, that is the name of the game here. These Brazilian plants allure me.

This deep red Sinningia speciosa jurapensis is a deviation of the blue wild one I brought down the Jurapê Mountain more than a decade ago. Jurapê Mountain is the highest isolated one  in Joinville.
It is covered almost to the top with a luxuriant tropical forest that makes the climbing extremely difficult.
One have to carry a heavy back pack as it is impossible to come back down the mountain before the darkness of the night. You have to spend the night on top of the mountain also you will nedd a skilled guide and the health and the physique of a Spanish bull to get there.
