Dyckia reitzii white

This variety grows on top of a mountain sharply on Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul border.

Oh, my right foot, the exhibitionist.
The day dawned in 2°C and   the temperature climbed to 16°C just after midday. 
Tomorrow I shall cut off these dead leaves.

The dead leaves is kept by the plant in order to prevent fast drying of the substrate also they gather more debris and helps to built up a rich substrate. They grow on bare rock.

Dyckia reitzii is found in green, red and white colors.
Father Raulino Reitz was a priest and a notable Santa Catarina botanist.

The plant is initiating blooming
