Dyckia Koka Wolff


Dyckia Koka Wolff


Koka is a friend of mine who now lives amid the stars.
But no matter where, you my dearest friend will be always in my mind and prayers.
for I love you.
Koka was with us for many times with her husband (and also my dear friend Jorge Luiz Wolff)
 when we were visiting  our southern Dyckia fields.
She was always loving and smiling, always sweet and kind.

Dyckia Koka Wolf a star in the sky....an angel in Heaven.

All within a hybrid Dyckia seedling


A new made hybrid continues hidding its face and look till it has bloomed.
We can´t say much until there for it may go into a drastic transformation.
Meanwhile a thing is absolutely sure, it may change and change but always turning into a better look.

Just a little twist here and there....just a little twist like this:

Dyckiq hebdingii Arco-íris (rainbow)


This astonishing beautiful hebdingii was found when a small seedling in nature by Djenes Dalfovo and me.
At that time the small seedling presented just two or three pinkish stripes.
Look, it turned out to be this marvel.

Dyckia Brittle Star X Dyckia goehringii white.
 
Of course I am much proud of it, wouldn´t you?
 
Beauty, that is all that matters....I want your eyes on it and I want them to be bathed in beauty.
Better and the best of all this is a Dyckia and this means living is eternal or very close to it. 
 
Flowers are a celebration of life and joy in Dyckias.
 
Aging? Dyckias just get better and better with the passing years.
 
Dyckias!
Nothing compares!
