Above, we see Dyckia brevifolia var. subidensis running away from its pot.
The clump bellow is with me since 1976.
We lived in a super big historic house close to the mighty Itajaí-açu river. My mother was born in 1912 in a very large farm and was raised by her brothers and sisters since my grandparents died to malaria.
in 1976 my mother fund a Dyckia brevifolia floating on our beach, a sandy bank just 6 meters long. She rescued the plant and brought it home.
This plant is a giant clump now and a vivid remembrance from my dearest mother.
It gets full of flowers stalks in mid September and I will show it here.
Above we see a "spilled out" brevifolia clump.
This is incredibly beautiful and it takes decades to happen.
