Dyckia species hebdingii affinis

Have you ever saw something close to this?
Native to the extreme South where the South wind brings the cold
to break our bones from trembling.
The temperature may reach way below freezing and the wind makes you feel way down
colder. When this occurs it is time and wise to stay home, have a hot chocolate mug
and watch a fine documentary on TV specially those on Rio De Janeiro or the beaches of the South Pacific Islands.
Watch out! Do not go on thinking this plant can cope with the coldness that makes any white bear happy...no, no.
This plant is no fool, it is well in its mind: I am Tropical!!!!!
Remind of Willy (Bill for the closest) that aligator in the New York Zoo...
...always dreaming of home...the Sunny Florida...The Ever-green-glades...
See you later Aligator...
