A wonderful Hybrid I made here...I do love hybrids

HYBRIDS....
Hybrids do preserve the species for they diminish the collect pressure on them in wilderness. Besides they are more resistant to misleads and prune to adapt any cultural management. Most are evem mopre beautiful than their parents. Species are only preserved in the fields, N o collection preserves any Dyckia species. When out of their native fields any plant is suspicious to say the very least. I do love hybrids.



This is Nasty an American made marvelous plant.



Below we see nameless Hybrid I made myself.

Brittle Star X  Arizona


Well, I live surrounded by Dyckias in nature and I do love hybrids.
Nothing like hybrids to preserve species.
Hybrids are prune to adapt to cultivation and most of all, they are pretty good looking.
None preserves species under culture for once a plant leaves the rock field it is not trusted anymore as species...Species are on the field!

I love my friend Frank and he is beloved by God.
 I embrace you dear.

Bellow I show my Dyckia hb Milky Way

Dyckia Brittle star X Dyckia hebdingii


Yes, species.


This is an alpine Brazilian Dyckia species.
I makes this sort of blooming up on the mountain and here under cultivation.
We are wondering it is a hormonal distortion or a natural characteristics.
