Contest 69 : Discussion and related Pictures
Please discuss the pictures of Plants with no Spines in this thread
Re: Contest 69 : Discussion and related Pictures
Great plant Daiv, it shows the variability of cacti so nicely (without spines)- but this topic mostly is succulent country, I gues. Let´s see what comes up in this one.

Does "very little spines" or "no noticeable spines" count?
Just clarifying....

I believe the idea should mean no spines whatsoever, but let's wait to see if Jens agrees - just to be sure.gemhunter178 wrote:Does "very little spines" or "no noticeable spines" count?

Nice variety of entries thus far...

I was thinking about put this one on:

Thinking about Echinopsis subdenudata, will that count as "no spines"?

I think the less spines the better. You could of course post a picture of a plant with very little spines too. I- It is just a theme for people to think about another section of the cactus and succulent family.
And this is a picture contest - so it´s not the best plant which wins but the picture that conveys the theme best.

Yet another reason to see if I can get my hands on an Echinopsis subdenudata in the near future. Those are pretty cute anyway.
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Nice one John! and a great reminder that most Ariocarpus don´t have too many of them spines..
@Tony: Not too many spines on that ferocactus too

Thanks Jens! Out of hundreds of pictures of my Ariocarpus flowering, there are only a few that I really like and this is definitely one of them.
Tony - I don't think we can allow you to enter the photo contest with that photograph. Just because you cut the spines off of that Ferocactus doesn't mean it's naturally spineless. That's just cruel!
(Just joking - I do know that this plant is naturally spineless)

When thousands of foes unite, for my ruins plot–
If only You remain by my side, I then fear not!
I live for a hoped union with thee, it is my desired prize–
Or all my moments are spent- in the fright of demise!
