Dyckia hebdingii ...the 100 years old specimen!

Dyckia hebdingii
Except for some small sedling I  inserted here thinking on future composition this is
one  only one plant. These crowns are crown divisions of a single plant.
These were loose on the rock and turned upsided down. The rock is very close to a dusty road in the middle of nowwhere. the plant was covered  with dust up to a point of being unrecognizable.
some months later the plant began to breath here after a emercency care.
It turned to be a jewel inmy garden. 
This Dyckia hebdingii variety produces very small cute crowns a true dwarf plant asit is absolutely equal to the Dyckia hebdingii type found some kilometers ahead.
This plant reveals some differentiation in the size, of course and the flower stalk is also small, shor but the yellow small flowers ar a bit bigger than those of the  hebdingii tyoe form.

This plant must be more than one hundred years old!!
