Spiny Help

20 years ago

Spiny friends unite. I may be getting a pup of this Dyckia but not sure what it is. I think it may be an estevesii? It was a no name that i found on a site. If it is, which clone could it be. A Michael clone or a SSS Zurich, Swiss clone or a different one? Thanks a bunch.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:505622}}

I cant help on the ID but knowing the integrity your source on any plant is 50% of identifying it.

In my opinion, I've to state that it doesn't look like Dyckia estevesii at all.
The leaves are untidy direction, instead of distichus (fan-shaped) formation
as in D.estevesii always do, even when young.

Anyway, it look interesting with nice coloured and prolific mounding.

yes its a little slopy looking but the baby is'nt slopy. The other since it is a two headed the leaves were getting in the way. But oh well I still will give it a good home no matter waht it turns into :)
