Armin, I've no idea on the saxifrage/sedum but the campanula is probably C. latifolia

Hello,
The first is a Sedum sp. I have got a similar one (I attached a picture) what I got as S. alamosanum but it is obviously wrong name. I try to find it’s correct name.

Perhaps Sedum reflexum?

Thanks for the feedback and proposals.

Dave,
I think you are right with C. latifolium. Thank you.

Regarding the sedum ID it is unbelieveable difficult due to the huge number of species, forms and cultivars.

After intense web search I believe I have a dwarf form of S. diffusum from Mexico. Usually it is perennial but it is not frost hard enough (up to -6,6°C only).
This would explain why it appears as annual with me. Interesting, original I found this sedum growing in a meadow close to my house! :)

Pal, thanks, maybe it is S. diffusum too ;)
Will, thanks for the proposal but S. pulchellum is pink flowering.

A good sedum web page I found http://www.sedumphotos.net/main.php

Armin,

I think it isn't S diffusum.

Sedum hispanicum is similar and annual and growing wild in northern Europe.

The interesting feature of Armin's plant is that the flowers are distributed along the stems, rather than  only in a cluster at the top, as many sedums are.

Armin, just found this query but here is a German site with good pictures of plants found in Schwaben:
http://blumeninschwaben.de/Zweikeimblaettrige/Dickblattgewaechse/sedum_weiss.htm
It is most likely S. hispanicum, I think?
There is another one called S. rubellum but is maybe the same with another name :-\

I think it couldn’t be S. hispanicum. The position of the flowers is different in the case of it (I attached a picture)

For me it seems that the flowers are placed ain similar position as the drawing shows. Armin's plant is very well fed and watered too.

Do you think so?  I think the positioning is similar in Pal's plant but not in Armin's, where, to my eye, the flowers are much more spread along the stems.
