That Darryl's a real top of the cactus guy, and I know that he has hundreds more. I couldn't resist flowers, but here's a couple from habitat on South Africa.

Argyroderma delaetii (Bababoudjies) (Baby Bums)

Oophytum nanum (Krapogies)

This was my 2nd choice, but since this is a flower-loving type of crowd

, I had to go with my favorite Ferocactus hamatacanthus subsp. sinuatus, in flower.

This was my second choice. Took it the same day as the first.

Legolas, that is a great sinuatus picture. Man, there are some beautiful photos up in this contest. and Tim, yours is definitely the funniest entry.

I've had that plant for about three months and that is the first picture I've taken of it.

I got one for my mother at the same time. She managed to kill hers right away.

This thread as gotten to be a wonderful compilation of Great photographs. It's neat to see folks 'second place' photos, all of which are first rate.

Here is another that I could have used in the competition, but didn't:

Aloe polyphyla with inflorescence developing:

Oh Man, If I had one of those polyphyla's I would have picked it to be my entry.
And if you had entered that, I probably would have choosen your's too.

I'll never get tired of seein those.

This was my #2 pic
Copiapoa dura
