Making dreams.....


Dyckia hb Brittle Star conquered the most exclusive right to be indoors!
The plant is blooming and this is a time to celebrate.
 This  is one of the many masterpieces made by William Baker the world most famous
Dyckia hybridizer.
He made much more than any of us can imagine.
also this is  a way to say thank you to Steve Ball who  gave me many Bill Baker´s living work of art.
The plant is indoors to prevent any side pollination as my garden is awakening for life in full bloom and the winter is still here with rainy cold days.


Raquel, my beloved wife says: Constantino this is your advanced Christmas tree
and we are in late August.

  Up to now  we made crossings with:
-Dyckia ferruginea
- Dyckia reitzii
- Dyckia hb Star of Brazil
- Dyckia hb Picante
- Dickia marnier-lapostollei giant blue
... and the plant has just began opening its flower buds.
We have many, many more in mind.
Dyckia Brittle Star is a fantastica hibrid as it blooms when most of all is up to it too.
The monster  here reflected by the window pane is me...
 

...that drawing and water color hanged on the wall was made by myself in 1986.
