Yesterday I have visited the Early Spring Exhibition in Prague and Karel Lang' s garden. It was wonderful. Here are some pics, but the quality is not the best due to the weather. I have no names of the Saxifraga, most are newer hybrids.
Enjoy the plants!

Number 145 and 147 is Saxifraga dinnikii alba which is sweet excellently with honey!

Hans , what a mouthwatering selection of Saxifragas -I would be more than happy to grow just a few . We only grow 3 older hybrids here in Australia , as our Quarantine now will not permit us to import plants . The answer would be to grow them from seed , most could turn out to be attractive plants - if only seeds would be available .

I can only second that comment Otto. If we could find a kindly seed source.....maybe we could breed some of our own.

I collect seeds from my Saxes every year but I never sow them remembering Lang's words that every new plant must has known parents.
