I fear the barrel cactus was as much a victim of my previous inexperience as the mealies unfortuntely!
But it looks to be making a speedy recovery

Jordi, What in the world type of cactus is that?! It looks really awesome! I have never seen anything like it though! Neat plant!

I found so many 'New Growth' photos in my archive, therefore I have to show some more here.
There is new growth of roots on a grafted
Yavia or of an
Ariocarpus retusus tuber:
There are new seedlings. Here my first seedlings of
Digitostigma in August '04:
There are new growth of leaves of
Pereskiopsis or
Bursera odorata:
There are new areols of
Lophocereus schottii and
Ariocarpus retusus pectinatus:
There is desert related new growth like a germinating
Simondsia chinensis (Jojoba) or Tucker Fennec of Miles2Go:
There is Hydra-like growth of a goat-eaten
Strombocactus disciformis and stolon growth of an
Echinocereus tayopensis:
There is new growth on
Euphorbia handiensis and
tulearensis:
There is new growth in habitat of
Navajoa peeblesianaand
Micropuntia gracilicylindrica:
And there is also new growth of cactus spines, e.g. on
Turbinicarpus mysakii,
Ferocactus johnstonianus and
Echinocactus parryi:
And there is finally a last one, new growth on
Graptopetalum filiferum:

Those are some great "supplemental" pics, but I think the one you chose for the contest is definitely the right choice. Not just for the unique subject matter, but the overall colors and composition of the pic are really moving.

I love the photo of Tucker. That would have been a good one for the contest.

That is the only photo in this series I didn't take. I think John Durham took it.

Tumamoc,
nice photo of a saguaro Arm bud. Those look so painful when they first start to break through the tissue.

Here was a runner up til I found out it wasn't allowed. Flower buds on my M. microhelia var microheliopsis.
YAY I spelled it correctly from memory lol.
I got this Mamm last year at Desert Botanical Garden's gift shop last year. BTW I am now officially a member there and when I get a job I will also join the Central AZ CASS. I am thinking about attending their annual show and sale tho, depending on what kind of money I have. It's sad to see nice plants and have no money to take any home
