I have kept this remarkable xerophytic brom for year, until it's bloomed since yesterday. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Oct2007/Deinacanthon_urbanianum1.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Oct2007/Deinacanthon_urbanianum2.jpg http...

Well, so far not yet flower buds appearing, but the inflorescence is nearly 2 m.

Thanks for your information Constantino and this is your photo that so impressive.
I'm sure you and your people will be successful to conserve this treasure.

Hi Vitaly Three years ago, I got this plant as quite a big specimen from my friend.
So I guess it could be at least 5 to 6 years old for this blooming size.

One of my huge Deuterocohnia brevispicata that I have kept for 3 years is going to bloom. This plant is one of the biggest xeric broms in my collection, that huge guy on the top right. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Sep2007/Dyck_collection7.jpg http://i40.photobuck...

Congratulations with your Dyckia 'Yellow Glow' too ! Joachim

At least, My Dyckia macedoi has two pups right now, I'll keep one for you.
And how about yor Dyckia 'Brittle Star' from BRG, does it have some pups?

For spiny lovers, I found Dyckia 'Lad Cutak' could colour up as red as the colourful Neoregelia.

Up to date...and someone told me that mine could be Encholiorium subsecundum ?! Any idea ? http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Sep2007/Encho_magal_Flw1.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Sep2007/Encho_magal_Flw.jpg Actually, I have kep...

Hi friends :) I found one of my Encholirium sp. # 6 that I obtained from Tarrington Exotic Plants of Mr Rudolf Schulz in Australia years ago has already bloomed :shock: It was determined as Encholirium magalhaesii , please see the link. http://www.bromeliad.org.au/news/DD1006b.htm This was the plant...

Für das Teilen deiner großen Abbildungen danke.
Alle xerophytischen bromeliads im botanischen Garten sind und so schönes,
besonders Puya und Deuterocohnia brevispicata in der Blüte sehr interessant.

Ein meines Encholirium magalhaesii wird blühen. Ich zeige dich bald.

I have kept Puya mirabilis in my collection for 3 years. They are seed-grown plants, that I grow together, about 12 plants into one big pot. This is yesterday blooming. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Aug2007/Puya_Flw.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dycki...
