Dyckia estevesii, a Brazilian marvel....

Dyckia estevesii
...a nature triumph on the ugly an common ordinary looks...

It needs  the most torrid and scorching sun exposition as possible to be happy and dazzling gourgeous, otherwise it will simply be a mere scratch of what it should be...

There are some  notable oddities and  curiosities  on its flower fertilizing...
One needs to know  its habitat to come to know them...
Not an usual plant...

If you want it happy do not upright it when you plant it...it loves to lay down..it is its nature...
In nature this plant presents individuals with trunks longer than  two meters.
The oldest and the longest I saw was in Porto Alegre in Dr. Jonas Caldas´ collection it was a multi branched plant and the main trunck was very snaky with more than 2 meters long.
What we usually see are baby plants!

I have true, true seeds...
