Dyckia delicata type rubra

This is Dyckia delicata type rubra

Just two rubra plants were found amid the "normal" looking ones in wilderness.

Rubra is  reddish in Latin.

Most of the Dyckias species has a rubra form. Many , just the rubra ones are known and no green form is known as  with Dyckia pectinata. We never heard of a green one pectinata.

Some species never showed its rubra form in nature as Dyckia ibiramensis, but it revealed  its rubra form  under cultivation here  in my garden.

Some species are extremely rare under rubra form rubra as Dyckia encholirioides.In fact so rare no one has seen one up to now.
Rubra may refer to the foliage or to the flowers.

It seems every Dyckia species carries the genetic information for rubra form in its  life code and under some circumstances the plant can come up with the rubra form as a response to some stimulation from the environment or some challenge presented by it.

Both, of course, type form delicata, bellow the "normal" colored one.
