Hi Darryl, You forgot the grains of sand next to the Opuntia on the logo.

It's much more important than that!
Those were purposely omitted

I wonder what Peter's thoughts will be on the "engelmannii" there. I would guess fasciculatus or nicholii on that one.

In the album, that Epithelantha crest is just freaky!

Thanks for your efforts Darryl & Jen & Tony. That's a real group effort. NIce show and good sale. One small omission doesn't make the sign. It's nice.

By the way, the Parodia is an Echinopsis. It took first place at another club the next week, still blooming.

I love that Pachypodium. She sits outside all year. Now that she's a star, I'll probably take better care of her and kill her. The little Psuedolithos hybrid won smelliest plant in show.

Doh! Dunno why i typed out Parodia

and you should! That Pachy has an awesome form.
