Dyckia marnier-lapostollei - Goiás (collected plant)


Collected - Arrived American marked as Dyckia Marnier-lapostolei large wild variety
Maybe a name correspondent to reality ´cause this variety is really big and sure wild and also
science already said it is Dyckia marnier-lapostollei.
Its seed pods, here in South, take 5 to 6 months to get ready, to open and spread its seeds. This is half a year. Maybe our winter here is the responsible for the delay.
Flowers are red and open. Some marniers do not open their flowers as Dyckia marnier-lapostollei variety estevesii does. This one open just a tiny orifice on top of the flower.
