Heavens can wait.....and miracles happen on a daily basis all around us.....

Look at this little jewel....
Toothless! Just an apical spine...
Very small and graceful young adult plant.

Notice the under leaf surfaces, they are snow white.
From the top the leaves are green with just some very withe stretches of Dyckia lines.
From the bottom it is the opposite: Snowy white surfaces with a hint a greed Dyckia lines.
This plat will be extremely prolific as it is emitting ma, many sprouts ( not stolons).
these sprouts stay close to the mother plant.

Isn´t it astonishing?

Now, bellow notice one of its grex sisters.

It does resembles the toothless marvel but it is not as flat and presents some reddening..

It is a very charming small Dyckia but not as charming as her sister...

Their mother can be seem here bellow.
This is a Dyckia consimilis X Dyckia brevifolia  var. Ribeirão do Cocho (Cocho creek).

Seeds collected from this plant I  gave to a Brazilian visitor and ......
... miracles do happen!
Yesterday, I was given some of the resulted plants from a not  formalized marriage...
open pollinated Flowers.
Open pollinated flowers from this beauty here gave birth to some of the most beautiful and enchanting new looks in Dyckia.
