Dyckia platyphylla

For some reason you don't see Dyckia platyphylla much around any more.

It's one of the few short with a wide leaf Dyckia's species.
I know its green but still has a place in your collection.

For me it doesn't offset much and I can't grow it well.
I also don't do well with Dyckia marnier-lapostollei and some of it's types.

The leaves are a little longer then Dyckia platyphylla with alot more of a white color too them.

When will dyckia's flower?

When will dyckia's flower? Well for me most will flower in the spring and some in the summer. But I do have few that will flower in the fall (10/25/2010).

I should add I'm in the Northern Hemisphere. Some of the people who look at my blog are in the  Southern Hemisphere, but it's October everywhere.
