Dyckia reitzii
Father Raulino Reitz was a Catholic priest and a notable botanist.
He discovered and described many Santa Catarina native plants and was
a most notable enthusiast of the bromeliads.
He was knaow as the the Bromelias´ father.
Died in Itajaí, a close buy city here in Santa Catarina during a cerimony in his honor.
Dyckia reitzii is a mountain dweller and needs plenty of sub freezing temperatures
to survive and bloom.
Temperatures around -20 Centigrades has being recorded in its habitat!
cewrtainly one of the most beautiful Dyckia blooms.
A view of rocky mountain field full of plants in bloom is something to gasp...
