Dyckia fosteriana... a perfect diamond crown

Dyckias when armed into such structures or arrangments  garantee some degree of umidity to the plant. These crown like Dyckias can cope more easier witha a water depraved environment.
All these arched leaves hold the water in ther air around and within the canopy.
 
Here one can also see the plant iniciating head division.
Some plants cluding this  fosteriana regional variety use this as the only way for cloning itself.
Also this is a way the specimes find to cope wut the water that stucks in the very center of the crown.
The water does not get trapped there if the plant is inclinded.
These head divisions make very attractive mirror effect.
