A friend sent this to me.
This plant can be totally silvered and resulted from Dyckia fosterina
true type fertilized by Dyckia insignis pollen.
This is a plant extremely difficult to duplicate.
It took the Dyckia fosteriana habit of not cloning and the seeds won´t produce equals.
What is left? Tissue culturing or dividing heads what is tremendously risky.
What bout trying the very same cross or original cross again?
Even so it would never work again.
This makes Dyckias still more fantastic plants.
I also saw one plant of this cross that resulted in deep red/silvery plants.
Maybe this one this very same plant here gets red and silver under stronger sun.
This one plant was kept a bit shadowed to prevent sun burning since it arrive on Summer.
Let us see...
