Adrian, kettle and porridge always at the ready, shortbread ingredients to hand and a cosy bed available.... see you in October!

Appreciate your offer, all though I am not sure about the Shortbread, on a diet.
I will have Rex Murfitt with me so may need to find a Premier Inn

I've found one picture, not the one I wanted which showed a single flowering rosette in profile, but one with several flowering rosettes and a number of baby rosettes where older flowering ones have died off. As they do. :) I'll have to get it scanned in town as my scanner software isn't up to much and botches everything. Will do that today and hopefully post it early next week.

Premier Inn?  ::)  The last time we dined with Father Murfitt he wanted to go to Denny's. :o :o :o

I'm still recuperating.  http://www.dennys.com/

Give him our best.

I'm annoyed that the photo shop has just scanned a print I found onto a disk and made a print but not scanned to disk, the much better slide of the same plant so I'll have to get that done (Wednesday) as it shows much better, the way the rosettes flower and the shape of the whole plant. I see on the slide I have the name S. cot. var platyphylla but I don't know where that comes from, certainly not the original plant as it came to me from (then) Czechoslovakia.

Lesley, thats a nice form of S.cotyledon, years ago they gave var. names to many clones, var.platyphylla had
wider than normal rosette leaves and a pyramid shaped inflorescence. It should be treated as a cultivar,
S.cotyledon 'Platyphylla'
Below is a pic of S.cotyledon 'Pyramidalis' growing in the French Pyrenees, this has a larger inflorescence, but narrower leaves.
Also S.cotyledon 'Norvegica' a very attractive clone.
Plus a pic of typical S.cotyledon rosettes.

Thanks Adrian, nice to be sure about the name even if too late! I'll post the other when I have it scanned tomorrow. Is it likely that forms such as 'Playtphylla' and 'Pyramidalis' might turn up in collected seed of S. cotyledon? In other words, if I had some coll seed from the exchanges or someone commercial, would I maybe chance on some of these forms? Presumably the 'Norvegica' form comes from Norway.

Apart from Saxifraga 'Peach Melba' which I forgot to photograph whilst it was in flower that's my lot Adrian. There will be more though in the future ;D
