These two were fairly friendly for a while.

No seedlings were hurt in this exercise, I trust?
Merry Christmas to you and everyone here at the Forum.

Not at all

I must think up names for them......

Itchy and Scratchy are always good standbys.

This is Gymnocalycium neuhuberi taken earlier this year.

Here are a couple from earlier in the year.

Some buds from California

I know this is a bit irregular but I am going on holiday for a while, so I thought it would be easier to announce the winner today. It has been quiet this month on the photo front so I hope this does not offend anyone.
There have been some very good photos this month and it was quite a tricky decision, I was tempted by Chris L's 'Buds' but in the end I thought John Dos's photo of Lithops salicola bud was the best. There is great light and shadow over the plant and it is a good clear picture.

Sorry these are a bit late, I thought it meant buds in December so had to wait for the Huernia zebrina magniflora bud to grow to a decent size.....anyhow here goes.

Oh, that is a great honour! Thank you, Liz.
I had already seen the crassula-closeup as a winner, a lovely plant when in bud! Later in the day I'll post the new theme, first for this year, and I want to make it right, so I'll search a bit in the dephts of previous years.
