All Dyckia beatea in the world!



Dyckia beatea altogether by request of a dear German friend.
Moin und prosit!
All in this Easter Sunday morning here in Brazil.



There are  three know looks of the same or affinis beatea.
the one we see more frequently  out of Brazil  has broader  chestnut colored leaves ( under weak light it gets green with  pale teeth.). This plant  grows in wilderness way down the rock where the more colorful an bigger toothed grows. Here we see two plants of it and it presents a red center. In nature they are stunning beautiful plants: shorter and redder.
The other one a dark chestnut colored one was recently found in nature all by chance.

Above the beatea more commonly seen out of Brazil and the type form.

Below we see the Barra do Garças form. This plant was spotted in a picture  a woman took of her beloved cacti. We got crazy! She said she found this plant when she was looking for a discocactus around the town of Barra do Garças in Mato Grosso.
