I know those tiny spine very well. I would put some of my own cacti pictures up but then I would be hyjacking the thread that is for IL pictures only. Very neat pictures. Unique to say the least.

None yet. Its almost melted already (the ice) and Im at work during the daytime, so its almost impossible to get any good pics other than at night when conditions arent optimal. My brother took some amazing shots the other day, Ill have to see if he can get them to me so I can post them.
