Wow! A LOT of beautiful pictures! But if the theme is Yellow, I think Iann takes the cake with his "graessneri-060711.jpg" (http://cactiguide.com/forum/download/file.php?id=15477)

@ GeneS - Those have the be the most pampered looking L. principis I've ever seen :) Very Nice! They look like they've not seen a hard day in their short lives. :D

Boy do I feel stupid now! #-o I just realized that today is the 19th! (Not the 20th) My mistake, the contest does not end tonight. Have no fear, you have a little over 24 more hours to enter. :oops:

WOW! This contest is going to be close! Look at the spread on the votes so far - understandably so!
