Not too bad, about 7-8 of the entries are not cactus. I thought there would be more as some non-cactus succulents look more like cactus than some actual cactus do.

Am I correct to assume that Succulents (such as aloes, and leafy fleshy plants) are excluded from this challenge?

Hi, I did not know what aloes were and after looking it up and seeing the pictures, though they are not botanically considered cactus, as people who are not expert on the topic would think they are a sort of cactus (I am one of those people indeed), I think aloes should de included... I hope I could been helpful. Best regards

Thanks for your reply, vqueen. It's my understanding that all cacti are in the succulent family, but all succulents aren't cacti. :-)
