One of the most colourful succulent plants is undoubtedly the Fanta-orange-coloured 'vygie', Lampranthus aureus. It's one of the 'must-have' plants for the succulent garden.

:Description
This vygie, Lampranthus aureus,(vygies also refer to other colourful plants in the family Aizoaceae) is a neatly rounded, erect, small shrub that grows up to about 400 x 500 mm. The leaves are paired, free or slightly fused at the base, dark green and grow to 50 mm. The most attractive aspect of the plant is its unbelievably bright orange flowers. The shiny orange flowers are borne singly or in clusters on short stalks, are 60 mm in diameter and appear from August. Yellow forms also occur. Flowers are followed by a woody fruit capsule that has five locules (locules are little compartments in which the seeds are borne).
