Two similar Dyckia species native to Rio Grande do Sul

Dyckia sp delicata affinis
These two plant may berelatas they come from the same region in Rio Grande do Sul.
The upper plant is a surprise in all senses and it was supposed to be a Dyckia delicata and not  an affinis species. All in all we know both these plants were not enough studied for any sure conclusion to be taken saftly. they may even be affinis among themselves or be two separated species.
This delicata affinis may be a real natural hybrid of delicata and lagoão.
Lagoão is a small town up North Rio Grande do Sul and there are some more other Dyckia species growing there. Conclude up to now is the undeniable fact that both plants are breathtakingly beautiful.
