Dyckia goehringii and what do you think ?




 Dyckia goehringii
 this is a spectacular plant to say the least, the very least and as all the gorgeous ones  it has imitators and fakes all over. There are many seems to be but look here.
What does it seems to you?
Money seems to play a huge amount of difference when we talk about rare and stunning beautiful Dyckias.
We know too little about them and many species are still to be shown to the mortals as us and are not described.Many errors are seem in many scientific descriptions and some descriptor never set a foot in Brazil.
This makes Dyckias a fair field for fakes....
Recently the market was flooded by  marvelous hybrids  and in fact  most beautiful plants but not  true ones Dyckia goehringii. Hybrid Dyckia goehring in almost a 100% of the cases tend to make plants looking like a wig with all its leaves forming a kind of a bowl ´cause they are arched or bent down.
This is never seen on a true one Dyckia goehringii.
These last days I posted many  hybrids I myself made using goehringii and all of them have wig like structures.
Now, click on this image and compare...if you dare.
