Re: December: Winter
This winter has not been very photogenic so far, so I've dug out a few older photos. One with snow, a hybrid of Opuntia fragilis,
... and some with hoarfrost / ice crystals:
Sedum acre
Sempervivum hybr.
Sempervivum wulfenii
and finally Rhodiola pachyclados, including a quite close look.
I hope you appreciate that I've limited myself to pictures where you can still see some plant life under the ice ... 
Wishing you all the best for 2024!
Wolfgang

Re: December: Winter
A very difficult choice this month with some lovely snow covered pics , and I really enjoyed the lateral thinking captions from Ernie, but I’m going to choose Wolfgang’s closeup of Rhodiola as my favourite. Over to you Wolfgang for January’s topic
Re: December: Winter
Just came back from a few days off - and now I found Ali Baba's choice as a nice surprise. Thanks for picking one of my pics!
I hope for an overnight inspiration for a topic to start into the new year ... and will let you know tomorrow (in case of a successful epiphany ... ).
