The first and the only Dyckia ibiramensis rubra !!!!!!!!
Dyckia ibiramensis rubra!!!!
The first one you see!!!
Dyckia ibiramensis is native to Ibirama in Santa Catarina where my mother was born.
It is a reofitic species described by Raulino Reitz.
It is extremely rare in nature and efforts have being made to preserve it.
It grows in three small rocky areas within the Hercílio River white waters.
i sowed thousands of seeds and got two dark plants. they are not hybrids!!!
In nature they do not have the chance to appear as it is a miracle a single seed to germinate there.
A big dam was built up stream years ago to prevent floods and this ruined its habitat and behavior.
Maybe this is the most important new by my own.
I wish this to be named after my mother, Izabel da Silveira Gastaldi who was born close buy Dyckia ibiramensis habitat:

Thre true and only one Dyckia goehringii
This wonderful plant just passed by a tremendous tropical storm that removed
most of its scales. It will take quite a while for it to recover an get bach to its splendor.
The original plant is in the center and surrounded by its gorgeous sprouts...
Notice there is nothing of that Coco Chanel wig shaped hybrid plants we see everywhere now.
Humm..I bought myself a new camera and we both are having a turbulent time...
We must to get aquainted to each other and this takes some time.
We must to get aquainted to each other and this takes some time.
The stubborn device has a mind of its own and as long as we are arguing
the shots will be a little...experimental and we may miss many.
But I am happy the new camera was given to me by my Dyckias as they gave their seeds to me
to make me feel better.
All of you who trusted on me..thanks!
Now you can have all the plants I keep and even better looking ones.
If you haven't seen the available seed list you may find it here just scroll down
the postings to find it.
There you will find all the direction you ´ll need to make dreams come true.
