Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A small terrestrial bromeliad cross of dakota x fosteriana. Dyckia dakota is possibly a variegated form of fosteriana. This one seems to stay small, only around 4-5 inches across each rosette, so it may have some other genetics mixed in there. Cute little bromeliad.
