Daiv wins! Now my only question: do you think that Ferocactus is actually alive

Congrats Daiv!

Me? Wow! Thanks all who voted. I didn't expect that. I can positively absolutely guarantee that plant was alive and well. I found others like that which should be pictured either on the guide or in the "places" section.

Great picture Daiv. Plants in habitat are just there to survive an procreate. They don't have mirrors to look in and see if they are growing the way they look in the book.
