I have had two big clumps of Dyckia fosteriana 'Silver Queen' and 'Bronze'
since I started my collection years ago, but untill now, they never bloom for me (>_

Blooms are always welcome!
The only thing better would be if Dyckia's had a variety of colored blooms.

Nice blooms. By any chance do you see any ants walking around the blooms. One of my Dyckias are starting to bloom and i have ants marching up and down the flower stalks. They started when the bloom stalk was fist seen. Must of been 4 to 5 inches tall then, but no blooms yet, but the ants were pacing up and down the stalk. Still no bloom, but stalks are a foot long and the ants still pacing lol.

Here ya...Foxwichya, my Dyckia saxatilis in bloom, I got this one from Tropiflora.

Sorry for out of focus.

Hi Stephania, I use to think it was just Thailand ants that pollenated everything. I decided to pay closer attention this year. Have also noticed them on other succulents as well.

I didn't know why, but just can take a look the closer Max's last pic,
it appears to be a nice clump of Dyckia platyphylla.

Yes Foxwichya, it's the rule of evolution...I think, and they can do the best (^_
