Does anyone know why my picture is all distorted? It doesn't look that way on my computer. I've never had any trouble uploading pictures here before (although I've just gotten the latest version of the Opera browser, which has given me a heap of trouble already).
Nothing smells as sweet as a frangipani flower...

Thanks Peter, yes the contest theme was initially meant to cover examples of miniature species but if you would find it rewarding to post a seedling photo then go ahead. I thought the main point here is that it is small (and interesting to look at )peterb wrote:Fantastic plant! So, the contest is intended for miniatures that are full grown or adult plants? Not seedling photos?

Here are about 10 Coryphantha minima visible:
and those are the miniature friends at the same location, Coryphantha hesteri and Echinocereus davisii:
Other coin-cacti are growing further northwest, Navajoa peeblesiana for example:
the same species with a seedling on the left:
also in habitat, Micropuntia gracilicylindrica:
and a ~ 3 year old seedling of Rimacactus laui before being pampered to death:

Ya, I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention...CoronaCactus wrote:
Tony, I think the pic you have as Frailea grahalina is actually Copiapoa laui. Either way, they both count as mini's
Thanks D, It is fixed.
Here are a few more.
Frailea grahalina.
Pygmaeocereus bylesianus
Frailea cataphracta
Awesome habitat pic's CactusJordi!
Those are truly mini's.
