Photo of Dyckia ID Dilemma!

Finally, here is a photo I took today. The pot measures about 15cm/6in across the rim of the hexagon, so that should give a sense of the size of the plant. It has something of the look of Dyckia brevifolia about it to me, except that the leaves seem a bit too long, upward pointing and narrow; the leaf margin spines don't look quite right either.

It is possible that it might be D. brevifolia crossed with some other Dyckia species (perhaps D. fosteriana or D. encholirioides?). I would really appreciate any ideas and/or photos of any similar Dyckias anyone might have.

I posted all of my broms on this thread http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/999618/ in June. If anyone here is interested in looking at them I would appreciate any comments you would wish to make on their identities.

By for Now, Kaelkitty.
