...lets get a walk over the rainbow there where it ends

Dyckia fosteriana Complex and some of the most recent discovered members of it. Most of them never once ever seen outside Brazil.
These are all small plants andthe spines are all rubbery like.
Once it was believe Dyckia fosteriana had a restrictedt area northeast Paraná South in Brazil but new researches found it in some other areas arround that previous one. Plants are slightly different in their looks from plance to place of occurence.
These plants are endemic to Paraná in Brazil.
Flowers are beautiful, conspicuous and better yet and the best of all:
they do not perish after blooming as they are no monocarpic plants.
