The marriage of the decade!!! Delicata X Delicata!!

Take a look on these just harvested seeds.
Fat and heavy and each one a treasure.....

(Contact me if you want some or everything... I never saw so many fat delicata seeds, normally just a few is viable and here every one is fat and ripe ready to explode into a marvel. You and just you may have the whole bunch of seeds.)

Note the seeds have no wing or are wingless, they are just fat.
This is typical in dyckias the thrive on vertical slopes. 
They do not wings to fly but be heavy to fall.
  Being heavy the seeds are capable of sprouting  bellow.

Dyckia delicata type is the lowest on the slope in nature and the golden one ( no seeds now ) is the highest in the vertical slope in nature.

We need to observe much more and  study deeply this marvel plants in nature.
