Dyckia Tapayuna

Dyckia Tapayuna is not it's name but I guess where it came from. I would like a name if anyone knows it.

I did put this on Facebook to try to get answer.

A BIG thank you to

Constantino Gastaldi  that said on Facebook :
The correct is Dyckia sp from Tapayuna. Tapayuna is a Braziliann indian native name. The tribe is Tapayuna. The plant was found in their lands in Mato Grosso. The plant has no official name. It is a brand new species and unnamed. We refer to it as Dyckia sp from Tapayuna or Dyckia Tapayuna (with a capital letter).

 

What's in Flower in December

I have not felt like doing this blog any more but with Christmas coming I feel a little bit better.

Dyckia estevesii in 6 inch pot.
This pass summer I had 2 plants with offsets that I removed and potted. This one did not flower  as yet.

Dyckia estevesii in 6 inch pot.

This is the first time for this plant to flower and it is a new offset that was potted up just a few months ago. Dyckia estevesii is one plant that wants flower and it can do just that a few times in one year.

Euphorbia millotii
You can tell it's winter here in FL. When the Euphorbia's have no leaves.
With no leaves it still wants to flower

 

Dyckia burle-marxii

This Dyckia burle-marxii 

This is a offset in a 6 inch pot.

 

 

This is the mama plant in a 12 inch pot.

 This plant was bigger but it started to go backwards. I don't know why but the larger plants were dying off.

*********************************************

Extravaganza is over and it was a good one Hosted by Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society.

Sales were slow and I was hoping to break even but that didn't happen but we still had a good time.

 

Extravaganza also had 3 seminars, I didn't go to any of them.

I did go to the  rare plant auction and a banquet.

Didn't get any plants at the rare plant auction. Didn't see any of  interest to me.
The only plants I picked up were(see below).

Dyckia White Fang

Orthophytum cf. grossiorum

Forgot my camera at home so no photos from the  Extravaganza.  Sorry.

Also last week I was locked out of - (see below)

I change cell phone carrier and got a new cell phone number, BIG BOBO.

I didn't change my phone number on any Google accounts.

So in order to log in I'll need a verification code from a phone that I no longer have. Without that phone, it can sometimes take 3-5 business days to complete the account recovery process (if at all). WHAT THE HELL.

 All of the Google sites I use or should I say did use at one time are:

Picasa Web Albums

Gmail
YouTube
Blogger
I can no longer sign in on any of them.

 Back in my Google account.

It did not take the 3-5 business days only 2 days.
