Phil - Just trying to cheer things up a bit whilst it's cold, wet, windy, and dull in the U.K. - whilst realising some forum folks can gloat with their climates...

Mamuga,
Great start to this month's competition. Good colour and lovely photo. Obviously Madrid is having better weather than we are!

Yes, Jane. We are having an unusually sunny winter. I'm not sure this is really good.

Spotted this Notocactus scopa enjoying the glorious sunshine whilst on holiday in Wales last year at Bodnant Gardens. I'm hoping that cacti are included under the succulent "umbrella"........Sorry.

Re: January 2012 photo comp - Succulent flowers in the sun
Can you clarify eligibility. Does the title mean only plants flowering in the sun at the moment (eg winter flowering succulents in the UK) or flowers brought out by full sun at any time during the year for the UK, including cacti?
