I do have this dyckia but no photo's of flowers, but most dyckia flowers look like this

Thanks, but I was specifically after pics of Brittle Star flowers, I have plant to ID which looks like it might be a seedling of Brittle Star, and I was curious to see what the flowers were like to compare with my plant.

This is 'Brittle Star'F3

Since BS isn't species and unstable,the flower might not help much with an ID.

True enough, however I was hoping there might be a bit of floral similarity between the forms. It was a bit of a long shot! Thanks for the pics

From what I've seen, hybrid Dyckia flowers do not seem to differ much.

I agree, they mostly look alike.

I forgot to mention the plant that flower belongs to: Dyckia marnier-lapostollei var. estevesii x (fosteriana x platyphylla).

Hi guys.
Here the point is a hybrid plant and there is no stability on hybrid Dyckias. Rare or ultra rare are those with a bit of stability up to the point to transmit to it descendency.
Seeds from this plant may produce as many different looking plants with different looking flowers as sand grains in a tropical beach or stars in the sky. Just stable true species can repeat or should be waiedt to repeat the very same floration type. People say it is a marnier crossinig but there are hundreds of marniers, all regional variations, some not even a specialist will recognize the difference. Which was used to get that result? Marnier is one of the Dyckias species with the largest territory in wilderness, almost all Central Brazil. We have many,many, many different regional looks in here and all and each is true species.Dyckias are extrely hard to classify and describe any correcttly let aside hybrids. Look at the internet; how many same species looks we find.....some are errors and some just lack of knowing or knowlege.
Dyckia hybrids are just to be beautiful and we can always get then even better. That´s what we may expect from them. Hybrids are multiplied by cloning just this, naturally or culturing tissue but just cloning. Otherwise the results will ever be different and never match the very first crossing.
Dyckia are great plants for they challenge you. We are just begening to understand them. In fact I´ve only just begun...

Cheers.

In my opinion, I think it's impossible to ID the ordinary hybrid Dyckias
from their flowers, but the specific one which use to be described officially.

Eventhough, the clear image of vegetative characteristics of the plant
should be a better way to ID the inconclusive plant, but who or whose?

Up to date, my 'Brittle Star' original clone from Bill Baker is dividing.
