Daiv, I only see 6 Astro's.

That's all there are. There were actually only supposed to be 5 total, but I accidentally duplicated one!

Daiv, I like the sea theme - there was a line in the America song of a Horse with No Name about the desert being a sea with its life underground....

I repotted a very flat Gymno a while back an after removing the peat soil it was remarkable how the long roots hanging down with the cactus body looked just like a jellyfish!

Daiv,

I'm still trying to figure out which starfish / coral is the Haageocereus...

Does anyone have any idea when the voting will take place?

Soon... Pretty sure Harriet stole the show at the last minute though. I'm wondering what 2011s contest list looks like.

I too am chomping at the bit for the new list - and the voting for this one.

I also think it is important to bear in mind that it takes a lot of time and effort to run this and we should be quite appreciative of Darryl - not to mention the generous incentive / donation (that I hope to win one of these day...) of the Coronado Cactus prize.

All that translates into - patience.

PS (but I am sitting on the edge of my seat.)
