Compare the two of the most spectacular hybrid Dyckias

Dyckia hb Bill Paylen by Bill Baker

No one can tell them apart just by a glimpse and it may take more than a quick glance to spot the differences here between the one and the other. Of course when they are in different stages of growing everything may get too obvious but these plants are both splitting in two and both are ripening their seed pods. Also these pictures were taken at the very same minute and the light condition was the very same.

What do I wanna show?
Maybe one of the puzzles: spot the differences! No, I am kidding but what about this:
both plants are twins brothers!
By the looks of many others I saw by pictures in the Interned I can tell they here have many more twin brother, in fact quite a bunch of them, all stunning  beautiful and lovely fancied.
What a wonderful family!!!
Incest!!!!What about an incestuous relation here? What about marrying two twin brothers?
Hummm...that sounds outrageous and sinly perfect?
Well, that was already done here.
Both plants bloomed almost exactly the very same time.
Now there some BP X BS and some BS X BP ripening pods here.....

As for differences here Bill Paylen has broader, stiffer leaves and it is a bit larger and its spines are straighter than in Brittle Star...but you must have sharp eyes....unless they are kept under different culture conditions
or are in different growing stages....the are very similar to one another.
