Wow, very unusual banner! This one really made me stop and examine it, rather than giving it a quick glance. Nice work!

This is actually a very small cactus, wish now I would have brought it home with me Paul, to see what the fruit ended up like.
Here is the un-cropped version.
Opps, forgot to add the photos.


Greg I think it was submitted some time in Sep, but not sure. I know it wasn't before that. Can't wait to see what you did. Hurray!

Thank you so much Hetty, Angie and Ann.

Hetty has taught me all about the beauty of cactus this year. Thank you Hetty. Group hug

Thank you Margaret. I went back and edited my above post to add the full photo. It was such a tiny, sweet cactus.

Thank you. : )

Wonder if I will ever see one again. If I do I will bring it home. It's so tiny, it wouldn't take up much room on a window sill in the winter. Summer time it could go outside. Hurray!

You know, it reminds me of coral & polyps under the sea.
