A Tropiflora hybrid with our best red rosea (formerly meziana). These are running the gamut from silver to red, some with scurfing, some without, all nice.

Its range, from the Chihuahuan desert of Mexico to the Big Bend area of Texas is pretty harsh, rocky and arid. In cultivation this species will grow to about 18 inches in a rosette of narrow leaves with scalloped, spiny margins. The normally green and silver coloration can blush shades of vivid red in strong light or full sun. A very hardy and easy species to grow.

A hybrid from Q Dyckia in Thailand. The parentage is Hechtia and Dyckia but the Hechtia characteristics are not seen. The inflorescence is like your typical Dyckia. Grows to 12 inches across. The leaves are narrow and armed with large spines. The leaf color is a glossy black and the spines are white. Grow in full sun to get optimum color.

A spineless Puya laxa hybrid from Bryan Windham. It has light green recurving leaves with white scurf. A medium size growing plant. Does best in high light.
