With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
mind ‘cactus taxonomy is the pursuit of the impossible by the incompetent’ - Fearn & Pearcy, Rebutia (1981)
Congratulations! While I voted for yours (obviously thinking it was the best), it wasn't an easy choice and I was surprised the results weren't closer.

Thank you for showing your appreciation of my photo. It's funny, but I wasn't even going to enter this contest because I didn't remember I had any cactus that produced fruit. Then when I was on the patio, I looked up and there it was--overhead the whole time.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Congrats fanaticactus!
The fruits look like gooseberries. I'll bet they have a similar taste.
Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

Hello everyone! I should ask if anyone would like some of these fruit to try to grow their own Lepismium. I've never tried to plant any myself. I'm not even sure if they're self-fertile. Any takers?--probably only in the USA, since I don't know the legality of shipping them overseas or to Canada or Mexico.

Not exactly legal, but possible in simple envelope. It's been done.
