Dyckia fosteriana

This Dyckia needs to be protected from the rain to keep in good color.






How many forms of Dyckia fosteriana are their?

As far as I tell 5. Well maybe.

Dyckia fosteriana-fosteriana
Dyckia fosteriana nivosa
Dyckia fosteriana rubra var. marialava
Dyckia fosteriana var. robustior
Dyckia fosteriana cv fosteriana-fosteriana var. Nels Christianson

has the 5 listed plants with photo's on his blog.
Don't know if he is correct or not.

FCBS Bromeliad Species Online Database only has 2, they are:
Dyckia fosteriana
Dyckia fosteriana var. robustior

Len, I just did a quick check and it looked like he also had several varieties from Parana. I keep wanting to start a master list myself, but keep getting sidetracked.
