Really hit a home run with that topic! Lots of excellent images. It is going to be tough to decide!!

I just wanted to see some cool Copiapoa spines :P

Moonbeam, looks like you have a Cereus peruvianus monstrose.

Cool, thanks for the id. I need time to get my cacti/succulent spreadsheet together. I have all the pics, and most of the names now.

Ruth just offered a database program that works with MS Access and i know Antonio_P has offered one before as well (thats the one i've been using) Works with Filemaker Pro.

Nice, if ya have either of those programs.

I saw the one from Ruth and it looks interesting. I started my own a few months ago, just for the cacti/succulents that I have. Thanks for reminding me.
