Yes, thank you Stephen, you're welcome.

BTW - over the years we didn't had the chance to publish US authors on "local" species... it was very poorly covered. There are so many magnificent cacti and succulents growing in the States... please feel free to send us articles, pictures, short subjects, news from the National Parks and breathtaking North American habitats, cactus shows, events in the C&S communities, environmental issues, cactus relocation programs, etc. I will be our pleasure to publish you!

Please email to xerophilia@xerophilia.ro or eduart.zimer@xerophilia.ro

Cheers,
Eduart

Hi All,

Unfortunately I have to insert an erratum: Initially the wrong file has been uploaded on our platform in error (not all links were working properly). This has been corrected since, more, although we still have Standard and High Definition files, on both we managed to reduce the file sizes. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Cheers,
Eduart

Hi Eduart,

There still seems to be some problem with the standard download. Most/all of the images either don't show correctly or look washed out. The print download looks just fine however.

Hi,

I can't quite understand... I just tried to download them both and both seem fine to me. However, in both versions pictures are linked to the same high definition image.

It shouldn't be any significant difference on screen between the two, and if then just only minor details.Yes, when trying to print it's a different story, but this depends also on the printer.

Does anyone else has this problem please?

Cheers,
Eduart

Its epic no matter what language its in. Even if you can read foreign laguages to your own there are plenty of free translation services online.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
