Yeah, I thought you guys would like that. Every so often I get an e-mail from someone who isn't on the forum, but offers these amazing habitat shots for the site.

Check out this commonly cultivated cereus

How about these magnificent Mamms?

And this terrific Trichocereus

Just a few of the recent submissions - good for all of us!

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!
