Dyckia BigBrazil is a plant I got from Bill. He claimed it was fosteriana seed collected in Brazil. Obviously not fosteriana. So I call it BigBrazil #1. I also have a #2 from the same seed batch that looks nothing like this one.

Look what you guys did to me ! A few seeds and now I am dreaming of dyckias! Thanks Len & David for the start ! It may be a while for these to grow, but so excited about the possibilties of what will become of these seedlings...I guess this is a 'good' addiction. I never heard of a dyckia 2 months ago and was happy with my palm seedlings...now look at this can of worms..haha
