Oops Darryl, Hope I did not upstage you and steal your thunder. :oops: I get impatient sometimes and forget you are 10 hours earlier than me...

Again, great fun and I really like what the contest adds to the site, above and beyond the beautiful photos.

Thanks for your comment Tony. It seems funny though - all I did was take the pic - the Mammillaria did all the work of growing the flowers. :sunny: (Just realized this almost a chlorotic cactus smiley!)

It was a great contest no doubt about it. I did employ Brad's rating system and individually rated each photo. I finally narrowed it down to a two-way tie so I got my daughter to help me decide the final one I voted for.

Lots of good choices in this contest!! Cheers to everyone.

Jordi, I like your image a lot - firstly because you have at least 13 of these desirable plants in the image, and secondly, because of your choice of a single-set flat of A. asterias for the background.

Both parts represent a unique approach not available to many. Individual plants are nice but nothing beats seeing massed plantings where you can see the range of a species.

Cheers ... GeneSf

Thanks for the congrats, folks. But I have to repeat what Shmuel said before, I only took the photo the rest -and that is the main part- did nature!
