I don't think another picture can top this one (according to what I think is pretty). Well, maybe the ugly warts of a Pseudolithos can be as charming as a texture... Too bad I don't have a decent camera, nor the camera skills to stalk my own Pseudolithos.

I like the O. microdasys picture Devrim- so deceiving, it almost looks soft, fluffy, and nice to touch :)

Thanks Ian.
Not only the photo, but the plant is also very deceiving to people who don't know about it :) Up to now, the first thing people with no knowledge about the plant did when I showed it to them is to try to touch it (luckily I'm there ready to stop them), trying to feel how "soft and fluffy" it is :lol:

Yeah, mines been relegated to sit under the staging. I got fed up of accidently brushing against it all the time, although I've got a new enemy now, it seems my Tacinga inamoena seedlings do the same thing!

Is my favourite too, but I didn't want to influence the jury. All too late now!

The first one is a Pseudolithos cubiforme, I take it? The second one is a Pseudolithos migiurtinus, for sure. I like the ugliness...!

Aiko, this is not a competition - just sharing pictures of the plants we grow according to the theme -
