Jim, your camera and your steady hand have taken a far better picture, whatever the colour result - excellent detail

Heather, as the sun was shinning on the plant I might have got away with a handheld picture but for the frithia pictures I used a tripod and remote release

Into all sorts of exotic plants but with only having a conservatory I prefer to buy small young plants and miniature cacti.

Re: JULY Photo Comp - "The Color Purple"
Apologies if the sizing turns out wrong, I'm trying to do this from my phone so haven't got a pic resizer.
Here is my Echinocereus viereckii ssp. moricallii in full bloom. This year the hosepipe burst in the greenhouse and I returned from work to find everything flooded and pots in trays sat in 4" of water. Seemingly this Echinocereus liked it as all the flower buds opened together. Last year they opened in ones and twos and many didn't open at all. I must've been too cautious with watering. From now on I know not to leave to hose in the greenhouse and to be a little more generous when watering this plant :-)

Looks like a useful accident and you learnt a good lesson, the result is great.
