Challenging indeed. I only have one picture of Fur & Fruit, which for me is a fruit of Frailea castanea that is furry itself.

I think the caption is putting off potential entries. Shouldn't it read March 2023 rather than February? We've already had a competition in January and February. edit - updated the month to March- TGR

My entry for March is Epithelantha micromeris. This plant was in storage in blackout conditions for over 12 months in 2015/16. The plant survived but the fruits dried out into husks. This is my photo of the plant taken in January 2017.

Well, it wasn't that crowded this month... However, I liked most Rod's Epithelantha micromeris; in my opinion he is the winner.

Cheers,
