Dyckia lindelvaldeae



Dyckia lindelvaldeae

This is one of the finest representatives of the Brazilian
bromeliad rocky ground flora.

For sure a Dream Dyckia. A DD!!!
The flower stalk here is no thicker than a match and the flowers are deceptive, seeds go on this way too, they are tiny.
The plant looks compensate this all.
Here in Santa Catarina 900 km South from its habitat, the plant
begins its flower spike now in the beginning of Southern autumn.
Joinville can be as cold as -3 degrees centigrade and just for some few hours
always during dawning.
In spite of living way North from here
the plant in nature takes some freezing temperatures.
The plant lives high on the mountain.
