They are beautiful to look at, I had 2 or 3 flowering in the spring. Maybe eventually I’ll have time to pollinate and deal with seeds. For now I’ll just appreciate the flowers.

I've gotten a lot more into producing and growing seeds from my own plants this past year, but only this dyckia of my five is flowering, so no seeds for me this time! In a way it's kind of nice in that since I know I can't get seeds I can focus on seeing the flowers for their beauty.
