There are some remarkable pictures of C&S on Pinterest but are they for real?

Pinterest pictures are usually links to sites or blogs when you click on them. Whether they are real or not depends on the site.

...which is a good point at which to draw the attention of any intagrammers to the BCSS account: https://www.instagram.com/bcss_cactusworld/

Other social media are the BCSS on facebook - there's a page and a group, the group being at https://www.facebook.com/groups/434020283466998/ and a twitter https://twitter.com/CactusSucculent

A lot of those images are probably "shared" from other sources, sometimes without permission.

I had to complain to Pinterest that someone in the USA had uploaded one of my Gymno flowers without my permission.

I have to agree with Chris, I have a very low opinion of Pinterest IMO just another way to avoid copyright and create orphan images.

Stealing images without asking is the main reason I watermark all my website gallery photos with my name. It's not foolproof as it can be removed if you know how but is a good deterrent. Mine were appearing on ebay purporting to be an example of what was being sold.

To give them credit though, when I did complain the image was removed without question and pretty quickly too.

Because of the Photobucket fiasco from earlier in the year I am re-uploading lots of pictures and they all have watermarks on now. Not foolproof, as they can be cropped, but a deterrent nonetheless.
