To  the viewers, friends, followers and Dyckia lovers:

I will be leaving to São Paulo, some 600 km  up North from Here where I live, this early Tuesday morning, before sunrising.
I will be visiting some Dyckia fellows and plant dealers and collectors as well as 

Botanists and  Botanic institutes, researchers and field collectors.

I shall  be back in Joinville, Santa Catarina where I am now on Friday (June the first).

You may email me and even order  seeds or ask for seed list anytime.

My wife Raquel may take any message until I am back to where I belong and reply to you.

Thanks and till June the first.

Dyckia hb Dancing Dervish

My BBB+BB Dyckia

Big, Bold,Beautiful and Blueand a Beast

..and notice this is a Dyckia and will never die  for having bloomed...

I stands frosts and temperatures well bellow freezing. Never dies and blooms  wonderfully till the end of times. Imagine it in a rocky garden......a precious gem!
Never, never once  lived outside Brazil!
The flower stalk is huge and laterally set a Dyckia, of course.
The  flower stalk seems like a yellow foam as thousands and thousands of tiny yellow flowers open.


Soon (around August) I will offer seeds...the first time in history!!!
