Dyckia hb Brittle Star aquired the honor to be inside my house....

Steve!

Thanks.

Dyckia Brittle Star

  Blooming in my garden and before the first flowers get opened Her Highness get in.

This is her bridal chamber.

Each of her flowers will have a different groom.
I am prepared to provide her with at least thirty different ones.

 She will be allowed to make many self polinated seeds but every groom pollen will get 

to carefully cared flowers as I will remove the pollen producers organs prior to fertilizing the feminine parts with allien pollen.

I am sure this baby will produce stunning ones plants.

Steve, the one who sent this beauty to me will be the first to get those beauties.

Paul will transform seeds into plants in his main room while the snow will fall outside.

Those will be to see to believe Dyckias.

Imagine dyckia hb Brittle Star and Dyckia ferruginea or red delicata or true  white goheringii...imagine.

Paul is this moment on the road from Los Angeles where he visited my friends. 

He spent some days in Phoenix, Arizona and already left New Mexico and North Texas and must be getting home in Arkansas.

He told me when he passed last night in Armadillo his car was full of plants and pots...and firt places.
Paul mamaged to  produce the most stunning new Dyckias in his house.
Ilumination and heating  all artificial and set favoring the plants to grow healthy and beautiful and every plant  observed closely every day.

His plants did not even wondered the snow was falling and pilling up outside.

Paul, congratulations!!

You won where champions had won. 

You won where Bill Baker, Bill Paylen, Nels, Steve and a few others had won

Your plants were close to the most beautiful and desired in the whole world.

Your plants won all the prizes..all!
This is remarkable in every sense.

California is the sacrosanct place in terms of hybrid Dyckias.

You were there and by the very first time you made it beautifully.

I am proud of you!!!

I am very proud of all my "gringo" friends!

These seeds are not made yet. But I have plans for them.

They will be all and each cultivated in USA

and won´t be cultivated by anyone....they will be under the  best care of Paul Rothstein, 

my firend, my award-winning friend.

He just got all the "Oscars" in Los Angeles area.

You made it there and so you can make it everywhere!

Thanks to Steve and Nels who opened arms wide to my friend, a New Yorker in Arkansas.

I am proud of you all!

Congratulations!!!!!!
