[align=center]This is a recently found species, Dyckia species from Mato Grosso. This beautiful over silver scale coated species lives on rocks in a very rough condition. Over scaled plants tend to live on very dry contitions and the scales help the plant to cope with this lack of water. They allow ...

Oh, I do not like the hybrids...I prefer the true species...how come you keeping hybrids... I constantly hear of this. Yes I like the hybvrids, of coursely I do! Who doens´t? But...but not just them and why? Those who think that keeping a plant in your garden is saving the plant as species is wrong...

I live in Brazil! I speak Portuguese and also I was born and brought up here. I can read English, French, Some German, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, old Latim and old Greek...I am no fool. People who use to wander in our wilderness take a long long time to realize one must spent a much longer time in ...

[/img][align=center]This is it! Nothing compares to this!! Dyckia or any other bromeliad species or hybrid. This wonder was found in Northeastern Santa Catarina uphills a bit more than a here ago. Colors are perene, stay so year around. Gets even better by day time with the fiercy Sun. Here it is un...

Yes, the more I am used to them, the more I ge to know them the more I get hooked by them.

Friend, I live in Brazil and I am used to the most beautiful plants, flowers, shrubs, cacti, trees, bromeliads, orchids, succulents and so and so. My eyes are used to the beauty but Dyckias....they ever surprise me, fascinate me, allure me. They are uncomparable plants regal ones. The effort they m...

[align=center]I am Brazilian and also I am fond of Dyckias... hooked on them and uncountable times hooked by them.[/align] [align=center]I do not care enough for just any Dyckia to keep all of them in my garden. A Dyckia must be dazzling to get under my skin. No, not all Dyckias are beautiful and de...

Kein Winter hält ewig, Gerfi! Vielleicht haben Sie einen noman Pflanze haben, vielleicht ein Hybrid, vielleicht ein true red Form, aber eines ist sicher: es ist ein schönes, die ein du hast erzogen. Wast sie ein Klon ihrer Mutter oder Form ein Samen. Ist das ein Sämling? Alle Dyckia Sämlinge sind ve...

Yes Gerfi, your plant is beautiful and will be even better looking under the care of yours in some more years to come. Also the questioning true species or not is not of a such great value as never in history a Dyckia that had stayed in any collection returned to wilderness and here in Brazil it wil...

Dyckia goehring bears so minute scales it seeems the plant was waxed. These scale...

I crave the big photos! Those that show details. I just sorry I can´t sent them any larger. Photos are to clarify, to remove doubts, photos are to see . They are not for guessing, keep on wondering. Pictutes are great specially when they fulfil their purposes and when big, really Big. Those we have ...

Hi. This for sure would be great. But if so....keep just one eye shut and the other keep it wide opened. Science said many stupidity in therms of taxonomy. Some historical! I never mannaged to get pure Dyckia goehringii seeds as I had just two plants and they wers the very same plant. Now I ´ve got ...

[align=center]Yes this is a true genuine pure Species Dyckia goehringii. I wonder how it made it to you but this is always an epic. You will need another pure strain to get to seeds as this baby is not self fertile. We can not state too much even with a plant in hands, imagine by pictures. But all o...
