Dyckia fosteria and the cold in natured.

During the last month, there were 18 morning frosts here.

This was an almost suffocated  by grasses Dyckia.

Notice the relief imposed by the deep col frosts.

Dyckias desperately need light. and the winter brought the helping hand.

A much dark Dyckia can  be here seen.
Notice the death  herb leaves.

Frost resistant shrubs continue green but grasses are death and will feed Dyckias for they will help to form a denser substrate.
