| Dyckia heart Very well armed leaves protect the core of this terrestrial bromeliad.  Original photo here  I grew this plant from seed and it very closely resembles the parent. The silver on the leaves is due to trichomes. |

| Love the contrast between the strong graphical elements and the subdued color palette. It fooled me. When I first saw the banner, I thought it was some kind of aloe or agave (which probably is just proof, if any were needed, at how inexpert I am at recognizing differences in growth habits of such plants, compared, say, with bromeliads). I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

| Great banner Baja! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| An intimidating Beauty! It is those "shark(teeth) looking spikes" that probably do all the protection and to invaders, damage. (They're probably not called spikes, but I couldn't find the correct name for them.) |

| Teeth, I guess? Yes, they are very much for real. |

Nice, Baja  For me, gardening is really just an excuse for playing in the dirt. Admittedly, plants are a satisfying by-product. |

| Baja, A cool looking plant. I like the texture of the "teeth!" And you grew this from seed! |
