A hybrid of Dyckia 'Mercury' f2 originating at Michael's Bromeliads. A large growing plant of burgundy green leaves that develop a silver scurf as the plant grows larger. The rosette is flat measuring to 18 inches when mature. The leaves are wide with large spines. Grows best in bright light or full sun. A grex mate of Dyckia 'Battle Axe' 

This stunning large cross of Dyckia platyphylla x ‘Carlsbad‘ has many spiny arching leaves in a rosette to well over 18 inches. One of the most colorful of Dyckia hybrids, it has reddish/brown leaves in full sun or a deep burgundy color in lower light.

One of Bill Baker’s amazing crosses named posthumously by Chris Nguyen, a cultivar of (Arizona x Brittle Star) x Brittle Star. I suppose the name is appropriate, a heavenly looking plant with hellish spines, but I don’t know if that is what Chris had in mind. The plant is very full with many triangular leaves about 5 or 6 inches long, dark blackish brown with large, triangular, slightly curving white spines. A stunning plant in every way. Mature size is about 12 inches across. Full sun brings out blackish coloration, with less sun it will show more white scurf.

*Please note- some leaf tips will be trimmed

The plant is very full with many triangular recurving leaves about 5 or 6 inches long. Green brown with large, triangular, slightly curving white spines. A white scurf covers the leaves.  Mature size is about 12 inches across. Full sun brings out the brown coloration and enhances the white scurf.

A wide tapering leaf hybrid with green leaves that turn red with age and high light. Scurf occurs on both sides of the leaves.  Has the potential to grow to 18 inches across. This hybrid cross was made here at Tropiflora. Both parents are beautiful plants.

A large growing hybrid that came from Qdyckia in Thailand. Wide dark green succulent recurving leaves with heavy scurfing and large spines. Mature size is 18 inches across. Grows best in bright light to full sun which will enhance the plant color.

A handsome, clustering little species with short stiff green leaves that flush golden yellow near the top of the plant. Light and maturity are factors in coloring, but all plants color in time. Easy to cultivate, it forms large clusters of 4 inch plants in a relatively short time.

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 fairly large grower, to about 12 inches across, with very wide recurving leaves and serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent.  Colors range from reddish with white spines to all silver. Outstanding silver beauties! Some have serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent, others have larger, stouter ones.
