Dyckia lindelvaldeae ......fantastic to say the least here.

Dyckia lindelvaldeae 

Small and absolutely striking this plant favores a legend here in Brazil.
The legend says here in Brazil that the plant was sent abroad for description
and scientist were so turned on by its beauty they kept them alive instead transforming them into 
dried straw inside a drawer to be eaten by termits years ahead.
If this is true...congratulations to Science..at least this time Botany did fine and indeed!

Its flores are scentes and the flowers stalks are very short.
They are not self fertile plants.
