Cool. I won. I was just having fun and added the picture in there after reading the rules that we didn't have to define the photo categories...I didn't realize special effects had a different category until after I won.

How exciting! I love my Zygo, and was thrilled when it bloomed this year, since I had divided it for a friend a few months earlier. I love the way the lip forms a ridge under the column. Thank you mystery judge! Congrats to all the winners. I loved every photo! Jim- That fairrieanum is gorgeous!

Thank you! The talent is amazing and just keeps getting better and better. I am humbled! I was posting on Lynn's thread and didn't even notice the award on my page. Duh! Congrat's to all the winners and everyone who entered.

Congrat's to all the winners, but everyone who enters is a winner in my book. The photos each month are amazing and I feel for the judge who has to choose.
