An exceptional cultivar of this species with leaves bearing intense silver banding over deep green. The narrow banding covers both sides of the leaves and is much brighter than in most other clones. A rare and desirable collector’s item.

Burgundy black recurving leaves with large white spines. Matures at 12-14 inches across. Grows best in bright light to full sun. Dyckias like to be watered regularly during the dry times of the year.

A Michael Kiehl hybrid. Long narrow burgundy black leaves with white spines. Light silver scurf on the leaves. Matures at 14-16 inches across. Grows best in bright light or full sun. Dyckias need to be watered weekly during the dry times of the year.

A species Dyckia from a rock outcropping in the cerrado, Brazil endemic to the state of Goyas. This was a special cultivar selected by Bill Baker for having pink spines.

A dense rosette of glossy, coppery to chestnut-brown recurving leaves and marginal spines. We are offering a select seedling from the grex. Dyckias prefer to be grown in bright light to full sun.

One of the signature plants of the Panamanian forest; it is one of the most interesting and lovely of all Guzmanias. Its upright vase shape with leaves flaring out at the top, heavy banding with a club shaped inflorescence of bright orange and white make this an extremely decorative species. This stoloniferous plant is found from the mangrove forests to the cloud forests, but adapts well to pot culture, moist and shady.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

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.

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.

A clone of the species collected by our friends Wally Berg and John Anderson in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil, is as different as night from day when compared to the clonotype. This plant is an upright vase to almost bottle shaped plant with wide leathery leaves, heavily spined, and dusted with a thick layer of silvery trichomes. Hard grown it can grow into a very squat, vase shape. An extremely handsome plant!

A large growing wide leaf hybrid from Chester Skotak. Wide medium green leaves that have white margins and bands of red. Large marginal spines line the leaf edge. This plant has the potential to grow to 30 inches across. The pictures for this plant do not do it justice.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A really lovely hybrid by Jim Pearce, a cultivar of ‘Royal Orleans’ x chlorosticta ‘pink’. The cross was made in 2005 and registered in 2012, but released only in 2014. A small, tight rosette to about 14 inches across with leaves 2.5 inches wide. It has light green leaves that turn almost completely white with red and green speckles. The leaf tips are red. Anthesis color is cherry red in the cup with reddish veneer spreading out. The marginal spines are spaced about ¾ of an inch and are large and red. This is a very unique plant.
