Hi Cyrill,

Ihr Werk ist sehr interessant und so schön.
Aber ich denke, der Blütenstand und Blüten zu sein scheinen, dass der Gattung Encholirium, nicht ein Dyckia.

Beyond my xeric spiney collection, I have kept this tiny species, Till. tricholepis for year. Last week I saw its very tiny flower, 3 mm. in diameter :shock: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Jan2008/Till_tricholepisFl3.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dycki...

I've kept this plant for year, they do grow quite well here but never bloom yet untill month ago I saw an orange cone-like flower appeared. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Jan2008/1ACANTHO1.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/My%20collection_Jan200...

Hi Chris, we had some discussions on this topic, here the link: http://forum.dbg-web.de/viewtopic.php?t=1119&highlight=deuterocohnia I agree with you that these tiny Deuterocohnia complex should be revised. I also got that remarkable short leaves clone from Joachim years ago too, but unfortunate...

Hi again Joachim, they come up...



And also this one Dyckia dawsonii 'Pink spines'

Yesterday while I was enjoying in my xeric garden
I found this little bird, Olive-backed Sunbird, nectaring my Dyckia flowers.

Actually, I agree with you, but I've noticed that the SSS plant has some different spination.
They do toward the leaves's tip, while my plant seem to be more compact
with rather bigger and reverse spination.

Hi Joachim ! Do my collections look different ? Yep...I've been building a new house, so I had to move all of my plant collection to the new place near by. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Moving/IMG_6006_resize.jpg The new place has bigger space than the last one. http://i40.photob...

I received this Dyckia from a well-known collector in USA. The plant has been labeled as a true Dyckia dawsonii , but...Timm Do you have any specimen of this striking species in HBG, or a pic of the type. And if possible, I would like to see the original of the type specimen descriptions. http://i40...

For spiney lovers, the very first time blooming of my beloved Dyckia beateae http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Moving/Dyckia_beateaeFlw_2.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Moving/Dyckia_beateaeFlw_1.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Moving/1Dyc...

I guess this method could be work only for epiphtic or tank type bromeliads,
but should not for terrestrial type.

Comparing to another xeric broms in my collection, most of them are green, silver or dark spiney things. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Moving/Dyck_Collection3.jpg But I found Orthophytum are among the most colourful. I hope this post could colour up your cold winter there :wink: ...

Thank you Timm :D And I saw the plant set seeds too :wink: By the way, have you ever seen any Dyckia in your collection which look alike this pic. It was collected from somewhere in Brasil by an american collector. The plant is going to bloom, with about 14 inches in diameter. http://i40.photobucket...

Timm, I would like to see the specimen in HBG collection (^_^) And, here some more Constantino's pics The plant was dividing. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Constantino/D_cfHebdingii6.jpg A younger specimen. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/Constantino/D_cfHebding...

Yesterday, while I visited Chatuchak Plant Market, Bangkok City. I found this striking blooming plant showed in a bromeliad shop. Mr. Panom with his beautiful Guzmania. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/JJ/Brom/Panom.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e240/dyckia1966/JJ/Brom/Panom...
