The flava form is a highly promissing one.
Dyckia fosterina robustior on top of the Papanduva Peak, last Sunday.
This plant was described by L.B.Smith in 1950
Pictures taken by Dr. Vilson Müeller.
Papanduva Peak is In Paraná southeast, some 64 km away from where I live.
It is close to Araçatuva and Anhangava peaks.
Temperatures can drop to -11°C during some winter nights frost,
snow and icicle are common there.
These plants here present shorter and wider leaves and also bigger spines
they well may be a different species. All plants are rubra.

Time to get ludic. New Dyckia seed list is available.
Goofy is always in my heart ....Here he is happy ´cause he is bound to see his lover Clarabela.
He is carrying some gifts to her. Clara loves Xeric plants.
Dyckia hebdingii va. arco-íris
Notice the floral stalk emerged exactly at the end of the yellow portion
and the stalk sepals are reddish and those on the base show some variegation.
We are hoping for variegated seeds.
This damage was caused by a helper who tried to move the plant using his boot.
We are going to make the most beautiful hybrid...Dyckia hebdingii form arco-íris X Dycki8a monticola rubrovariegated arcus pluvius
Both beauties are setting flower stems with variegated sepals.
I will try self in both plants ands cross them both ways.
Without dreams we won´t go far.
