Dyckia delicata, white form, in its habitat way down South in Brazil


From the farm house, this is the vie one can have of the most beautiful Dyckia on Earth habitat!
Yes, that sunny rocky wall and surroundings.
No one would be able to tell there were Dyckias in there.
the plants for its description were taken  close by those nude rocks but within the  forested area>
No one dared to climb up there and maybe they thought Dyckias were such as penguins, once you see one you saw all.
What a common mistake scientist make> Maybe they are not looking for the beautiful as beauty has no room in science.. I think differently, I do have a Hellenistic view on being and my heart knows who to fall in love.
...and guys this is something to fall in love....oh, indeed.

There is also a creek in between here and there where the plants are. This must be taken in deep consideration as it is impossible to get there during the rainy season, Mountain creeks can be  well dangerous to those trying to cross them.


Above if one look straight will see a palm tree known here as "jerivá" it grows all over Brazil and stands temperatures from "boiling"to below freezing. The delicata type  grows to the right of this palm three amid bushes.

Bellow we see a close up of the plant that grows on that area marked with a red circle above.


Here I am amid the stars!
Before we were there wild boars and stray pigs were there too and uprooted some plants we
planted again as  there were just 23 white delicata plants in there.
 concerned to this matter we talked to the land lord and also spread all the seeds we found all around in there.


The terrain is very "organic" and made of decayed old leaves from those bushes over there.
 The rocks are old granite ones and very very loose and dangerous.


One of the uprooted by boars and stray pigs plant.



The look from there!
We see the road and the farm house.




These, in my opinion are the most beautiful Dyckias of all.
Nothing hybrid or species compares to them.



The stray pigs that uproot the beautiful plants and eat them without any mercy.


Bellow one less to feed on the plants.
The farmer hunt one, here depilated and getting ready to be roaste, to serve us..
