It's always driven me mad way c&s burn, and the irony in it!
The plants that can and do tolerate some extreme abuse from the sun, also are basically the most vulnerable to it!
Sure, put a shade plant in the sun and the result is predictable, but most plants that people keep inside for the cold and back out for summer, will take a pretty serious burns, fall apart, and witching a few weeks or months, fresh leaves are back and perfectly suited to the sun.
No real long term harm done.
Some of the leafy c&s can spring back well too... But nothing burns like a succulent!
If it's a cactus, or any number other succulent with a perennial trunk or stem... It can be a disaster!
Even death!
Just awful to see a big jade burn down...chunk after chunk of stem plopping off...
