For better or worse I have chosen this month's subject. Ladies plants refers to the species name when named (or apparently named) after a woman, eg Lithops dorotheae, Gymnocactus ysabelae or Agave Victoria Reginae. Your photos should be of any succulent plant of a species named after a female. Should give plenty of scope for the inventive photographer.

Just to start it off for those that don't know which they are, the Latin name often ends in "ae" as Rod says but not always, therefore this link may help. A similar one for Other Succulents is at the end of cacti if you scroll down the link:-
