Dyckia reitzii rubra, adult well fed individuals

This is the best I could do to show you this rarity in our wilderness.
I think this s just breathtaking beautiful.


These rubra plants are intactac just ´cause they are wind and cold protected 
by the grasses and bushes around.

 
 
 
 
 


Ice burn ones!
Temperature can drop to -16 C!!
Rubras are more tender to frosts!
Green type form plants seem to better resist deep cold.
Grasses and bushes protect them against the cold wind and deep frosts.
