Okay, I'll bite -- here's my entry from the Succulent Art thread. Melocactus matanzus: Photoshop meets Andy Warhol.

I did this as a 4-panel with Negative, Posterize, Solarize, and Solarize+Negative filters with hue and saturation changes to get all the different colors I wanted. Came out pretty well.

Daniel, your thread is just too much fun! :)

OK, I was trying to think of something NEW per Jens advice.

So I thought I'd enter this ****RARE**** Mammillaria - that is even more RARE than what you find on ebay....
