Brevifolia Yellow glow

These two forms present golden yellow genes and they will mix sand produce
 a better looking yellow crown.

Brevifolia subidensis
 

Dyckia reitzii rubra

 
 


Seed pods are almost ready...
All here is pollinated  by this giant belly swollen  biped bumblebee.

 


The other plant with two young flower stalks is the very same  variety and this plant got narrower leaves cause it  divided its crown, almost a crestation. This induced to juvenile leave form.

Bleeding Heart and  fosteriana-fosteriana Snow White




.



A singular match!
I just crossed these two beauties here.
Seed pods are almost ready to be harvested.
Some crosses are unique not only the plants must coexist but bloom altogether.
I am sure no one did this before.
Who has an adult  deep rubra Reitzii Canyon Fortaleza and a Brittle Star blooming at the very same time? 
The probability is almost zero, no doubt.
I am very anxious as I am expecting for real beauties here.

This is a Dyckia species.
Native to Santa Catarina Northeastern Uphills it is a Dyckia gloriosa related species.
 
 
 
 


From Germany, a gift to be proud of.
Now I won´t miss myself, I won´t get lost and no Dyckia will  stay unfound.
 Danke mein Freund. Mein Herz ist froh, und ich halte Sie hier.
Haben Sie
ein Haus in Brasilien.  

Tausend Dank.
