Also more pics added from forum members. (I don't point those out because you already see those on the forum. But you don't see the pics that non-forum users e-mail me.)
Still more to come!

spectacular! CG is becoming a repository of very fine photos, like a book that would cost about $300.

This time a bunch of these images were ones that I took in AZ and Baja and am finally sorting out the ID's. I poste all the for sure pics alread, but had to really work on the Cholla and the Ferocactus.

I'm glad to announce that I got some more pictures loaded!
Some would be familiar from the forum (like Peterb's pics) others are from non-forum members that contribute like these:
http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus ... neohorstii
and these
http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Blossfeldia
In all, a total of 108 images have been added (Actually, only 3 new species in that) since the last update.
More on the way!

You mean genus descriptions? I added those a little while back. Really need to get back at it!
