We're all far too busy lurking David ;) ;D

A handsome plant, well grown.  I really like the symmetry of the rosettes, and the scape is spectacular.

Thank you Ashley, you restore my faith in humanity's existence  ;D

But I still don't know what my plant is-Adrian where are you?

Graham, your first pic looks very similar to the plant I showed in Reply 59.

Hi David, as I'm no expert I didn't reply to your original posting.

They do look similar and as hybrids I suspect they will all look slightly different. I bought mine as longifolia before I knew that longifolia only has a single rosette and as this has many offsets I just record it as a hybrid.

I have several saxes on my roof and some are flowering now. Forgotten the name, of course.

Another Saxifraga

An unusual Saxifraga is the drought loving Saxifraga erioblasta from the Sierra Nevada in Spain.

-March, fresh green cushion
-Flowers appear in May
-Two weeks later, the flowers change to pink
-June, the plant is in dormant.

One of the many whiteflowered saxes on my shed roof and one Saxifraga cotyledon from the roadside (also in another post).

Blooming now, in a trough where it has been thriving for the past six years, a silver saxifrage with tiny rosettes. Judging from descriptions in M. McGregor's book it is probably Saxifraga cochlearis 'Minor'. It's got lime spots on leaf edges, a red stalk, and rows of spots on petals, just visible in second photo. For scale, edge of trough/pot is about 18-20 mm (3/4 in.)
