Dyckia sp - Painel-SC



This is also a novelty. Something brand new from Southwest
Santa Catarina mountains.
In the winter time it may be extremely cold up there.
It snows frequently and the temperature may drop way below freezing point.
This Dream Dyckia grows on rocks facing North and just a skilled alpinist can get close to it.
It is a colorful plant.
These never flourished, a young seedling above and a young plant below.
Everything else about this Dyckia stays to be known.
Brand, brand new one.



The conspicuous spines are hard and injurious.

The plant is well armed.
This young plant is producing lateral pups.
So it must be a clump forming Dyckia.
