Hi Vitaly....you're welcome!! Nice plant you have...it's really neat. I always love any Bromeliad that seem to be xeric species. I myself collect Dyckia, Encholirium, Orthophytum, Deuterocohnia, Hechtia and never think of Aechmea that's so cool!! I will try to find one. I noticed you grow many epiph...

Hi friend, I have this Hechtia in my collection for a while. It came from US with a name Hechtia tillandsioides , but I have heard some dealer recently called it Hechtia lundelliorum and someone said it is a synonym with H. purpusii and also H. lindmanioides even H. caerulea So,which name should be ...

Wow...they really look alike

Seth..it just remind me of your multiple-inflorescences Till. caput-medusae which you had showed us months ago. I think your plant had a mutation as a crested-form on inflorescence that made it form a quite number of flower stalk.

Amongst the smallest size Dyckia , I do really love this one, Dyckia choristaminea :wink: I have two clones of this friendly Dyckia , a normal form and a small form. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_1/Dyc_choris_compare.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyck...

Hello Dave, you're welcome ! I'm Chanin from Thailand. I've visited your website, the collection is really great :shock: Beyond caudiciform and orther succulents, I'm really crazy with xeric bromeliads. I do collect Dyckia, Encholirium, Deuterocohnia, Orthophytum, and some small size Hechtia :lol: Y...

Hi Gonz! Those around the Gurkenii are another xeric succulents in my collection, such as Agave nizadensis, Agave attenuata, Manfreda maculata with a spotted leaves, and some true weed! of genus Euphorbia and Pelia.

So do I, I'm really appreciated your Tills, too.
Any I could help in identification is welcome.

Hi Gonzer, Last year when I asked my friend to bring back some Dyckias from Dutch Vandervort, in my list there was a name Dyckia ferox, that Mr. Vandervort just laugh and said to my friend that " He (Me) must be a crazy guy to got this one (D.ferox)!!" I'm not sure that if it should be the...

Hello Bromelien! Sometime, picture could tell us more stories! like this... Last year I purchased Dyckia estevesii, Fan-shaped Dyckia, from Dutch Vandervort Exotic Plants. I've forgotten that I took a pic when I just potted them up, until yesterday I found that pic. It shows me how fast the plant gr...

Really Gonzer!!! You know, I use to have three copies of that great book, I purchased from Rainbow Gardens long time ago. I gave two as a present to my good friends years ago, another one is remain on my book shelf....I've never picked it up for years, until you mentioned!! I found there is a ruler ...

I have three plants of Orthophytum lemei in my collection. They seem to have some different in colour : one with silver another with purple-bronze and gold. A fast growing species, but a bit slower than Orthophytum rubrum. Here the photo of my O.lemei that I got from Dutch Vandervort Exotic Plants o...

Hi Jan, I have two plants of Orthophytum gurkenii At first glanced, it's really look like a Cryptanthus with rather upright leaves. It seem to grow better in light shade and love more humid than another xeric member. You could find a good reference on images of this species and others at http://www....

Certainly, I'm really appreciated to share you my seeds, Joachim! But the last crop of Dyc.marnier-lapostollei's seeds were sowed and germinated already. I'm sure next summer I can get more seeds from some nice variations which I recently got this year from my friend collection. This is 3 weeks seed...
