You beat me to it. Majcka is correct. Only one picture is allowed in the contest, but you are welcome to post as many related pictures as you want in this thread (Discussion and related Pictures).

Another (cactus) with very little spines. (In fact I never checked a loph. for spines thoroughly). One would probably have to cut an areole -and keep away from eating it

Nice shot, fanaticactus!
The pot fits the cactus pretty well NancySLAZ! That is quite widespread amoung US growers I think. Over here in Germany most people I know put their plants in plain plastic pots. Maybe one of the reasons is that we don´t have those cactus shows where the best looking plants are judjed and prized as a regular event.

Great photos everyone!

Ralf, That is quite a pot of Lithops! Awesome!

[Jens]

A work of art made out of plant bodies.
Great lithops pointilism

Here's a few from my "short list" that didn't make the final cut. I'm not labeling them because most are actually pretty common and recognizable.

What's up with all those photos of pebbles Ralf? I thought you are suppost to post pictures of plants not rocks... Jokes. Nice lithops.

@ fanaticactus... Snails love schlumbergera flowers! They ripped through all mine during one night leaving me with just skeletons.
They seem to love any mamm. sp. also. I've spread some bait since then and squash them everytime I see them now.

Thanks for the warning, Mitchell. Snails seem to love a lot of cacti; although I've had some minor damage from them, nothing devastating. I won't have to worry about my Schlum. flowers--they're all safely indoors by the time they bloom.

Nice shot, fanaticactus!

Thank you, Jens. Once in a while some shots turn out just having that "special" look!

[gemhunter178]

Nice plants everyone! At first I couldn't even see the lithops!

[fanaticactus]

Forgot to add new red growth on an Epi
