Re: J-Cacti 2012
Nice, Jens! Have a Flickr friend who shot this from top with black backdrop! Really lights up the spines.
Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
There's no 12 step programme for Cactaholics...so I shall just have to get some more!!

Wonder how it got that name??? Un pico means the top in spanish right?iann wrote:Un Pico looks even stranger with the flower buds.
Re: J-Cacti 2012

With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to

Re: J-Cacti 2012
Cool looking fruits your turbs have. I like the unusual color!
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
Re: J-Cacti 2012
Thanks guys, yes is something else than the usual red fruit.
It is better to be seen against the black background than before the white /shaded one.
