All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Hello daiv
I think there are several themes we can explore for the contest
I was thinking about a macro categorie,about our plants ,
Could be an tiny euphorbia flower,a spine or group of them ,a pistil ,aureoles ,a bee ,an spider or any litle thing we find in our suculents
Oviusly best plant it´s another firm categorie,with diferent points of view ,beatiful plant,extrange plant(mountrose ,crested),big plant
Well this are some of my ideas ,what do you think ?

suggestion for contest
what about a pic of a beautiful bunch of a single cactus species? many of them appear in bunches clogged together.
OK This sounds like it could be interesting. Any particular rules you'd like to apply?
I want to do a "cacti in habitat" contest, but I know that will be tough for a lot of members to participate in other than voting.
Might still be fun. Eventually we'll re-run some earlier topics. There has been a request for another cacti of color contest.

Following this thread, I would guess that the intent was to show 5 or more individual plants growing in close proximity. Such as seen often in habitat or massed plantings. A field or hillside containing many individual plants of the same species would be a good example.
From the submissions so far, It seems that the group consensus is that clumps are _single_ plants that are multi-headed, via offsets or splitting. I would call these clusters, which, on the show bench must be a single plant on a common root.
Sounds like two contests?? Maybe we can tighten the defination on the current one, based on the submissions so far, and start over with another for multiple plants??
