It has several stems, so it should look even better soon!

Angie - what's in a name, when the plant is so gorgeous??

I'm hoping that the other similar plant I got at the B&W Show will do the same! Oh, and by the way, they like shade, Sbg!!!

Hmmm...yesterday, lovely, sunny and quite warm. Today - cloudy and not too bad for temps, but the evenings are getting chilly now - I've closed the greenhouse door. It's getting dark at around 7.15 - ish as well.

Ah to be remembering those hazy crazy days of summer. One of these days I know we will start a fire again in our fire place........oh well.

Oooohhhhh, yes! We already have one load of logs, and we''lll be off to fetch another ASAP!! I love my logburner - any excuse to light it!

That's special.
My partner is looking to redo her rockery - would this be any good in a rockery?

It likes shade, so maybe not...most alpines prefer the sun, I think.

This would be too big, as well! I'm just going to post a photo of the whole plant, by request!

I was wondering how tall it was,strange arrangement of petals too :)

this is amazing

Thanks - I've posted a photo of the whole plant this evening. The flower stems are about 8 - 10" max. above the leaves, which are a cluster near the ground - maybe to 4"tall?

I like these shade loving Saxifraga's.

Oooohh! What's happened to your avatar, Fractal? Nice face!

Yes, I do, too - the leaf colour is wonderful, and the late flowers are a real joy!
