It is always interesting to see our plants close up. It brings a better appreciation for the details that we would typically overlook, with that said, everyone had great pictures. It seems that the person who receives the prize has already been determined by those whose photos tied, however, the winning photo has not yet been determined. The following are the three top photos with 3 votes a piece:

Saxicola - Aloinopsis setifera



K.W. - Ferocactus wislizenii var. herrerae



Andy_CT - Sempervivum sp.




Look over the photos and make your decision, they all deserve it, but only 1 can win!

You have only two days to vote, so let the voting commence!

Don't forget to vote! Voting ends in an hour. I can't believe there is a tie in the tie breaker - someone vote!!!

After two days of voting, both K.W. and Andy_CT are tied to win (Both received 7 votes). As stated in the photo contest rules, I have taken 10 straws and cut them to various lengths.





I labeled each straw with a number between 1 and 10. (I did not label them in any order, so guessing 1 or 10 does not guarantee a win or a loss) I have also selected two participating, but not winning, members to receive a photo of the numbered straws. They have been sent a PM with the photo so they can verify the results.

K.W. and Andy_CT, it's all up to you now! Please each choose one number between 1 and 10 and post it in this thread. Please don't choose the same number that the first person chooses. The longest of the two straws wins the contest.

Good luck guys!

Has this ever happened before? I don't remember this happening for as long as I have been participating in the photo contest feature.

It sure didn't happened to me. I manage to win in last hours of contest I guess.

That makes the winner K.W.!

Although everyone had great photos, it ended with a game of pure luck. Thank you all for your patience and participation!

Just seeing the result now, oops lol! I guess I should have gone with my birth month like K.W. did which is 3

Congratulations to you both, K.W. and Andy. They are both beautifully artistic photos, worthy of matting and framing!

It was all luck, so there was no way of knowing. Both photos were fantastic! Congrats to both of you!
