My picture is F&F of Pilocereus glaucescens.

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

Re: March 2023 - Fur & Fruit
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.

Notocactus mammulosus ssp submammulosus
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.

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