Dyckia fosteriana
There are many forms and varieties of this beautiful South Brazil Plant. Some of them are absolutely strinking plants. This ia a very old known plant but abroad it seems they all come from a single population of fosteriana most probably from where the type form came from.
Dyckia fosteriana is found only in Parana but it has a very wide range in there and it goens from North to almost South and to East close to the sea.
The whitest and most striking regional varieties are found from Lapa region ( Dyckia fosteriana nivosa form) to up North in Paraná till the border with São Paulo State.
Dyckia fosterian is a rock dweller and it may be found on many of the North faced rocky slopes in this region.
From one occurency to the other this wonderful plant changes a bit of its looking.
Some are almost white.
During heavy rain periods all plants are bald and most of them are red wine with a very few and extremely rare green ones scattered here and there.
