This stunner has been one of the most in-demand of RL Frasier’s hot concentrica hybrids. A cultivar of [(carolinae x concentrica) x ('King of Kings' x concentrica)] x johannis, it was named and registered several years ago, but few were ever released. A super plant in every way, wide leaved, huge growing, colorful, and with a great shape. It takes on a deep fuchsia-purple flush in bright light with some whitish and deep purple blotching. The variegation is a broad creamy-white stripe up the center of each leaf.

*Lower leaves have some blemishes

A species from Tamaulipas state of Mexico. An easy to grow species that forms large, silvery-scurfy rosettes. Oddly, the offsets come off with soft, glabrous leaves, developing the scurfy appearance that protects them from the sun, as they mature. The narrow, spiny leaves are rather soft (for a Hechtia) and the tips naturally die back and curl.

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.

A uncommon species that is not found in many plant collections. It originates in Minas Gerais, Brazil growing on rocky outcroppings. The color can vary from gray to silver with hints of red. The mature size is 10 to 12 inches across. 

A rare hybrid of Hechtia argentea x tillandsioides named after Dorothy Byer. It Is not clear if this is a natural hybrid or a man-made hybrid, but was named by Dorothy along with Dutch Vandervort.

Hechtia hybrids are very rarely made as it takes a male and female plant, blooming at the same time, not just two different plants. A large grower with very many narrow, tapering leaves in a full, leafy rosette. The leaves arch gracefully, somewhat recurving. The marginal spines are very reduced, but are sharp and the plant should be handled with caution as the leaf edges can cut your skin quite easily. 

Clumping, smaller form which matures at only about 12 to 18in. Native to Colombia, it has slightly grayish-green leaves with darker reticulations, arranged along a short stem. This plant has a clustering habit and produces multiple branched spikes of yellow. Not a rare plant, but nice.

*Some leaf blemishes

This was a marnier-lapostolle hybrid by Bill Baker with the pollen parent unknown or unreported. A medium grower with deep burgundy-red leaves, white below. The leaves bear fairly large spines and are rather thick and triangular in shape.

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.
