The filenames of the pictures below were the dates they were taken. From December 2016 to December 2017. Nothing to say about any of them really ... they speak for themselves. This is a VERY slow growing cactus. You've got to look really close to see any ... hence the numbers on the first and last pictures.
December 2016
February 2017
I have NO idea why it decided to turn all green!
September 2017
December 2017
And a closeup, just because its there.
I posted ONE of these "growth over time" topics and asked if anyone was interested, and got a couple of positive responses. Now i've GOT to ask again, after posting a dozen, is anyone STILL interested in seeing the Progression of Growth in any of the cacti i've collected. If I don't get at least one fairly enthusiastic "yes", i'll quit. No point in posting this stuff is no one is interested. But I WILL continue with any expression of interest.

Make the moral choice & always do what's right. Be a good example. Be part of the solution & make a contribution to society, or be part of the problem & end your life with nothing but regrets. Live a life you can be proud of! Zone 7a

Been doing this for a long time, so a piece of constructive (and I do mean constructive) criticism for you...WayneByerly wrote:I posted ONE of these "growth over time" topics and asked if anyone was interested, and got a couple of positive responses.

Your work is pretty good, but instead of posting individual threads, start a thread and add posts to it as it continues to build over time. Member Topics is essentially a blog format, and if you treat it as such, you'll develop more of a following than you would with the one-off threads you've been posting. Also -- lack of response doesn't mean that people aren't interested in what you're doing. No reason for you to be discouraged here.
