Mossy Saxifrage ident. please
« on: May 31, 2013, 04:47:44 PM »
Have grown this mossy for some time but never known what it is.
Thought it might be S. reuteriana but flowers seem wrong.
Any help appreciated,

Reminds me of Sax' exarata moschata?

Thanks Franz, but I think I am leaning towards Cliffs view.
Looking up S.exarata has jogged my memory to recall bringing a cutting back from El Torcal a few years ago - which would support the exarata diagnosis.
