An impressive set of Saxifrages Jan. You have some equally impressive pieces of tufa too. Is it freely available in The Netherlands, is it very expensive?

I buy at a rock plant center in Belgium. Is 120 km from my place. They receive about 20 tons annually. You have to pick them up and transport them yourself. They cost € 0.55 per kilo.
I got 1500 kg once, and once 800 kg. Transport was 2 times € 175, -.
Yes they are well available, but very expensive.

The photo is a 500kg stone next to our house, planted with saxifragas.

That one is a revelation David - I thought all Saxifragas had white flowers...

See reply 38 above Gail, Saxifraga fortunei 'Gokka' is another red one. Japanese breeders in particular are introducing new cultivars regularly with some lovely reds and glossy purple foliage shades.

Sorry, I must have been somewhat inattentive before; yes very lovely, but please don't start me on something else...
