Bonjour Constantino, about the growing position of Dyckia, can you find any Dyckia growing on flat ground or gentle slopes (like it mays happen for some Hechtia or Puya)? Or because of the geographical situation (vegetation and rainy area of Brazil), it's always on cliffs or rocks? About seeds struc...

Yes, really alike! But what are the differences making 2 separate species?
merci

Bonjour, There are some really nice and interesting form of Dyckia amongst the one you showed: amazing variability!!! The last one from Santa Catarina with leaves from purple to light green and also the one with very green and thick leaves looking like an Aloe or Agave! Do they all put on offset or ...

This would be so wonderful and helpful!!!!
For the last 2 monthes, I spent hours and hours , mails and mails, messages and messages to search for informations about the terrestrial bormeliads...

Merci

The problem is to name each specie due to its specific difference... but what "difference" means????? And lumpers and splitters (in cacti and succulent descriptions) had given and give so much confusion that makes "science" so "hermetic" to our eyes... And I can hardly ...

I can just say: Super (in French)!!
It's so hard to get Brom in Europe that you make us a kind of "jealous"...
But your bowls are beautiful and specially due to the very rare bromeliads you planted.
Please keep on posting
