This is the beautiful Saxifraga burseriana var. burseriana in several stadia. It's one of my favorites.

And an other one, Saxifraga juniperifolia, sometimes abundent flowering and sometimes nothing at all. It's a bit a 'stubborn' plant.

I agree with you, David.


The sequence of shots to show the progression of the plant from buds to open flowers is both lovely and instructive.

Yes, I like that sequence too, with build up to the final floral burst. Very nice. :D

Today, these saxifrages in flower, despite the cold en grey weather, 'Roklan' (foto 1), ‘Feuerworks’ (foto 2) and a unknown cv. on a tufa rock, which I thought it was 'Winifred', but it isn't. Any one an idea?

These are really lovely. I've had the last one some years ago but now have just some small seedlings in a trough. Maybe in a year or two.....

I love the sequence pictures of the saxifraga.  Wish that more growers could do this.

Wish I had the space and plants :D

It's really usefull for someone like me who's looking to get a few plants (not just Saxifrage's) descriptions never match the beauty of a photo.

Now the flowering season also starts with me, the plants in the frame are the first.
Thanks to all the other friends who show the pictures of their splendid plants.

How I envy you guys up there in that mild climate and early and long spring!

Alpinelover (or Frankie?) do you feed artificially your beautiful plants in tufa, or just let it to their own devices? I will try now some Sax. federici-augustii ssp. grisebachii seedlings (SRGC seeds). They are just one-rosette plants yet.
