Dyckia Brazil

Just made pictures by Dr. Alexandre Kinas and Dr. Vilson Müeller.

Xantic forms re very very conspicuous in nature. They are not suffering result as too much sun exposition or drought or lack of any nutrient.

This picture show tres Picos under snow and it was made by Mrs. Josi Dalpiaz.

These yellow plants were foung on top of the peak by Dr. Vilson Müeller.

The gold yellow forms can be found in nature but they are extremely hard to be found.
They are not suffering plants but true xantic forms.
We have found this amid Dyckia brevifolia, Dyckia encholirioides, Dyckia fosteriana robustior.

This here is a super golden form and shows a nice white underleaf.

The spines are black pointed white ones.

This plant was found by Dr. Vilson Müeller and given to me.
Dyckia gastaldiana is under description process.

Their beauty hints are so intrincated an knotty the lens

and our eyes have a hard time to catch them all.

Dyckia fosteriana robustior. Notice the variety and the small size of these marvelous plants.

Frost damaged Dyckia fosteriana robustior

Natural variegated plants are extremely rare and the arco-íris type is even rarer to be found.

this is a monticola plant and a true alpine one.

Ok, they are not gorgeous now, or not nearly as fantastic as they really are for they are still getting used to the cultivation rules. It may take more than a year for it to show all its beauty.
