Yet unnamed, this Sharon Petersen hybrid of Dyckia choristaminea and an unreported other Dyckia as pollen parent is a smaller grower. Compact rosettes of narrow, bronze/red leaves dusted with silvery white scurffing are about six inches across when mature. The leaves, though narrow, are wider than the choristaminea parent, at about a quarter inch.

This clone comes out of the (Brittle Star F2 x estevesii) x estevesii grex, but looked quite a bit different.  We thought it was a stray Orthyophytum at first. It has reddish brown foliage with hints of green, silver scurfing with large spines on recurving leaves.

A choice hybrid by Bill Baker who was famed for his prowess in hybridizing Dyckias, the likes of many have been unequaled. This plant has broad leaves tapering to a point, curving slightly downward in a graceful rosette to about 10 inches across. The color is very dark green, almost blackish in strong light with bold-white triangular spines set one against the next along the leaf margins.

This is one of the most sought Dyckia hybrids for its own beauty as well as for a hybrid parent. A leafy, symmetrical rosette of narrowly tapering leaves with prominent marginal spines. Color is bronzy-green becoming dark chestnut brown with a purplish tint and a silvery sheen. The huge marginal spines are starkly silvery white. A choice plant, this is a piece of the original clone.

A new introduction for 2024. The plant that we are offering were grown from wild collected seed. The plant forms a large rosette, to over 12in across, with recurving stiff chartreuse leaves that have really large white hooked spines. Very attractive. Mature size is 12 to 14 inches across.  We originally believe this plant to be a clone of Dyckia burle-marxii.

A handsome slender species with narrow leaves about 12 inches long. The leaves have few, small spines and are silvery-green. A rare and fairly new species.

A handsome, spiny species from far south Brazil to Paraguay and Argentina. An open rosette of recurving, inch wide leaves that are green with just a hint of silver.
