Dyckias...These creatures of the Light are mostly Brazilian. Many of them are still to be seen by the very first time. Come on in. Let us see some. This Blog was created to show you the plants in my garden and also help you to keep happier Dyckias. This is the beginning of the book:THE ALLURING DYCKIAS. I may share some seeds with you. This way we help Dyckias to be known, understood and cherished.

Dyckia excelsa!
Excelsa is Latin for high, exhorted.
Petals are kept protected by coriaceus (leather like) sepals this is to protect the flower from the high temperature and dryness. The flowers open at night. Bats are amid its pollinators.
