I can't find any rules for these competitions, regarding the number of entries per individual etc, are there any?

No. :) It's just a bit of fun, really, with no prizes except the job of judging next month's competition.

Sorting through some photos from the summer and thought I would enter this one. It is Euphorbia antisyphilitica and had a lovely scent too.
