Very intersting Bob, never heard of that Dyckia before.
How about you weather now, hope it get warmer :^)

It's our summer here and it's terrible hot , also some raining with summer storm.
See how the heat-spell burnt my brom...

Stephania,
Cold for us,Hot for you. No winners.
But our cold temps will leave us by Wednesday,at last,and be more Spring like,in the 60's. Not much to get too excited about,but better than 30 everyday.
Too bad about your plant-burn,maybe you'll need to put up some high % shadecloth.
That D.coximensis is a new one to me too.I've not heard of it until I saw it on YuccaDo's site.It'll be interesting to see what the bloom will be like. I'd like to try a cross if something else would blossom at the same time.
I'll show a photo of the inflorescence when its ready.
Stay cool ! ;^)
Bob

Nice Bob, I had been eyeing that D. coximensis also. I think I will have to make a trip to see it in person and while I'm there.....well you know!

Looks like Mumma was giving them the sniff test. Anything new has to be kitty tested!! LOL
