July 2011 Photo Competition - Visitors

Post by Alan Clark »

This month's competition is for photos of insects and other critters visiting C&S.
Interested in cacti (particularly Echinopsis, Rebutia, Sulcorebutia, Lobivia, Gymnos and Chamaelobivia), Stapeliads, Sempervivums, and anything else that takes my fancy.
