Hi Daiv, Just wanted to make that was not a misprint. i have 2, one has not flowered in over a year, and the other flowered for about a week. Any hints.

I guess I have to say I like yours, since my current screen saver is the pic of mine.

Mike,
Moved this out so only the picture entries will show on that page.

Yes you did read correctly. I can go out and check my C. winteri just about any day of the year and it will be in bloom or at least have buds that are ready to open. On cloudy/overcast/rainy days the flowers typically do not open.

I have mine in the ground and there are probably a little more than a dozen stems from a couple inches to a couple feet in length.

Very creative, Mike. You're going for the multiple approach. That was thinking outside the box!

Hi,
I posted a picture for the contest but it looks bad compared to the original. Does anyone know how to get photobucket to upload your pics fullsize?

Okay, I wasn't paying attention. I have a pic of Hilda (the old Hildewinteria aureispina) that I caught one afternoon several years ago. Also one of my favorite plants and blooms.

By the way -I saved all the pictures to the CactiGuide.com server so that they will all be sure to display for everyone.

I noticed that there is only one vote. Is the poll working correctly? Perhaps everyone is making a careful decision?

Let me know if it is broken.

I voted even though it was a difficult decision. All the pics look great. I very much enjoyed seeing everyone's submissions. Congrats are in order for all!!!

The picture contest was a great idea and I look forward to the next one.
