Droll! Droll rivers...let it flow... ´cause I do it every time I see it.



Species!! New! Brand New!
Dazzling!
Outstanding!



Strikingly beautiful!
Native to Santa Catarina.



Gorgeous!
Magnificent!
Outstanding!
Breathtaking!



...to say half of Her beauty!
... nothing to compare, nothing...
It is a Dyckia!
Does not melt when after blooming,like a plain Bromelia or Agaves do.
Dyckias live and live and live ...
Extraordinary! Simply out from being any ordinary. Extraordinary!
I can´t stop drooling.
Still a nameless species Empress of the Rocks.
As a suggestion for the name what about Dyckia reginae (queenly)?

  1. She is indeed a beauty...looking at those spines! how about Penthesilea, an a warrior queen?

  2. Hope you can grow out seeds of this grand plant. Many good traits combined here could make for a remarkable species selection. Needs to be in your breeding program!
