Dyckia encholirioides hybrid and the one from Minas Gerais

 


 

The plant from Minas Gerais above.

The plants are virtually impossible to tell apart by its foliage only.

Below the echolirioides typical brown dusted flowers.

At the first sight one would tell they are the same. They are not!


 

Above, a Dyckia encholirioides hybrid I made using another southern native Dyckia.It is about blooming by the very first time.

Below, a Dyckia sp from minas Gerais. Compare foliage. They seem to be the very same but... compare the flower stalk.




A day after:

 






 

Dyckia paraensis the most extravagant and weird Dyckia, now blooming



 

Dyckia monticola variegated in full, a sight to behold

Full complete colorful variagations are extremely rare and just a very very few

are known amid Dyckias.

A new Dyckia from Minas Gerais, a green one



Brazil is a vast country and  we do not have deserts nor ice covered fields.
Every square foot is green year around. Nature  found a place to be diverse
in Brazil and we are finding new plants, insects, fishes, birds ... in a daily basis.
