I put this in another Saxiraga thread but perhaps it could go here too.

I've had this Sax. longifolia three years now, and when the snow finally melted, it was flat as a pancake.  Look at it now.  So sad its going to die after flowering.  Lovely thing and it has been much admired.  Must save seed!!!

My saxes are not very good this year. Only a few are in full bloom. J.W.Goethe for example.

Well that one is VERY good Olga. I really love those little cushion saxes. An your longifolia is a sight to see Chris. Good luck with the seed. Some is germinating here now, a gift from David Pilling. :) Some other tiny little seedlings are coming along nicely too. 8)

Your saxes are quite different from this one! It is a rather common species but I like it. Pics taken on the island of Jomfruland, S Norway, where it grows in abundance.

Saxifraga 'Jaromir' is a small encrusted plant with unusual red flowers.
It was found in the famous garden of the late Jaromir Grulich from Czech
Republic. Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures.

Rudi, this was timely... we have a lovey red saxifraga that we cannot  remember the name of but it may be Jaromir... the flowers are almost over but I think Ian may have a photo. I'll show it tomorrow. He thinks he recalls the name Jaromir...... I do hope we have this plant to remember Mr Grulich.

Jaromir was special!  and dinnikii wasn't bad either, Magnar.

Crossed the mountains on my way home today and only Saxifraga oppositifolia was in flower:

If you have not got S.Jaromir, I can send you some cuttings, roots easily.
There is also HareKnoll Beauty but that is more pink, Jaromir is red.
