Re: August Photo Competition
Has no-one a picture of Echinocereus brandegeei to post? I used to have a lovely specimen of this, alas no more.

I agree with David, but jfabiao, how many hours have you spent putting all those toothpicks on your Cylindropuntias?Lobivia wrote:Those cylindopuntias have a high want-to-have-factor jfabiao!

Re: August Photo Competition
Hi
here's one of my spiney ones, I grew this from seed about 20yrs ago & it flowered for me this yr. It's on a top shelf & isn't very well looked after, I only keep it as it was one of my first cactus from seed.
It's a slightly deceiving photo as the spines are 2" plus & there are 2 heads to it.
Then we have Glandulicactus mathsonii I like this one as it stays small 4" pot( spelling ?) & has lovely colouring on thew spines, this is a bit sulky & marks up on the lower body maybe it should go in the hot G/H.

Re: August Photo Competition
Hi, All.
Spines seem to be the order of the day. So here's a few more.
