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.

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.

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

A hybrid from Bill Baker. Compact growth from of glossy burgundy leaves that are recurved. Has distinct white marginal spines. The rosette is up to 8 inches across at maturity. Grows best in full sun.
