Dyckia marnier-lapostollei - Mato Grosso?



This Dyckia marnier-lapostollei side clone of a plant claimed as Mato Grosso collected.
Flowers are said to be red and as the estevesii variety does not open completely.
For sure a novelty in the large Dyckia marnier family.
Let us wait for the confirmations.
The plant seem to be unique in term of adaptation to culture in South: it took two whole years to awake! Now it is setting new leaves much too slowly as not wanting to live at all.
Maybe it misses the weather inferno of Mato Grosso.
