Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I crossed the 1000 mark today for database images with this picture:



And I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all the admins for being everywhere at once, and especially @zuzu for her patience with me. And I wanted to thank @Dave and all the regulars here who make this virtual garden so very habitable.

Thank You!

I realize I'm sort of a newcomer here (since 2016) and my big 1000 is an order of magnitude less than some others who joined around the same time, like @RuuddeBlock who is soon going to break 10,000.

But hey, who's counting? Smiling

I didn't realize somebody was actually counting. Silly me! *Blush* I bow down to all of you with the colossal stats. That's a whole lot of time and concentration and care.

I agree, well done, Baja! That Euphorbia photo is stunning! Thumbs up I love seeing pictures of the plants that grow in your area, so different from what I'm used to here in Florida.
