A Dyckia delicata rubra was accidentally decapitated and it sprouted...
...and look how many heads.
Each head can be cut and rooted and transformed into individual plants.

The smallest Dyckia of all. Dyckia pampeana
This is most probably the tiniest Dyckia species of all.
It comes from way down South in Brazil plains, the pampas.
It forms a dense carpet on rocks amid the Pampa prairies.
I almost got extint due to extensive sheep breeding. A very few were found within a rotting wood fence post hidden from the sheep lips.
