Dyckia neo-jonesiana

Dyckia neo-jonesiana can be found in green, red, white and all te shades in between .

It honors my friend Dr. Jones Caldas.

Notice the leaves are also dehydrated do to recent transplantation and clump separation.

This plant is still in the process of producing new roots hence the corrugated surface of leaves.

You can spot out some leaf mechanical damages in it.

Another point in these picture one observer may notice the crown is still adapting to the new position.  It is not  harmonious yet.

This marvel just came to me from the hands of my good friend doctor and botanist Dr. Jones Caldas.

Dyckia reitzii

The one who described Dyckia reitzii was Father Raulino Reitz, a catholic priest and a notorious botanist from Santa Catarina , Brazil.
He used a plant from Campo dos Padres and  that plant had yellow petals.
Petal color is not determinant to recognize a Dyckia species.

Petals and bracteas are still there with seed pods already swollen
