Hello
Is there meant to be a limit to the number of pictures which each contestant can put into these photo contests ?

Not really Jens, obviously if people get carried away then they may get asked to be a bit less enthusiastic.

Sorry for this OT!

Iann please could you show us and write a bit about Stomatricia in the right section of the forum? I hope that I am not the only one who wants to know more about this genus of the Aizoaceae family and could not find much in the net :shrugs:

After a struggle with my photos I finally came up with two pictures that I like. The first I think of as 'Not lizardskin'!
