Contest 19 - Succulent Compositions

Post by DieTer-Xz »

Hi

Finally "my" first contest, overall contest number 19. Sorry for being so late, but I went on vacation. Enough smalltalk, let's get started. This contest's topic is composition: two or more cacti and/or other succulents together in a bowl, a bed, or just put next to each other, as proposed by Tony. The rules remain the same.

Submissions in this topic until the 28th of July, or in a personal message to me, I'll post them then. Please add the names of the plants to your post, so I can refer to your picture in the voting.
Voting from the 29th of July to the 5th of August.
Please discuss the pictures, or post related pictures in this topic:

Unfortunately I don't have a picture today (probably tomorrow) to kick the contest off, but feel free to start! Good Luck!

Michiel
