A good idea to have an easy topic. Here's my favourite Mammillaria, M. candida, taken a few years ago. Sadly no longer with me, but I have some lovely smaller plants, rescued when the rest of it rotted.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Sorry for being late to pick a winner... I shouldn't be allowed to take part in these competitions.
I don't grow crassulas nor do I plan to in the future, but that photo is amazing. Chris, you're the winner!
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.
