I'll echo that ...

The choices are getting tougher for the voters and the quality is being pushed by the contributers. Good job to all.

Congradulation John and Fraj on your wins. I'm glad I couldn't vote. It would have been a real difficult choice.

Hi all, Thanks a lot for your votes and congratulations to Franj as well. All the plants were great as usual and any one of them would have been a worthy winner.

Hmmm, from the side profile it kinda looks like Adam Sandler to me

Well I figured it would only be fair if I added a shot of Gene in action too!

Daiv,

Nice pictures. The place is Jurupa Mountains Cultural Center in Riverside. I worked there for 5 years as director of grounds. The succulent gardens are as nice as there are in SoCal.
