I actually went to all the toil and sweat of looking on the wiki page to see what the latin name for it is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Pride_(plant)
''''''''London Pride, Saxifraga x urbium, is a perennial garden flowering plant. Alternative names for it include St. Patrick's Cabbage, Whimsey, Prattling Parnell, and Look Up And Kiss Me.''''''''
I was going to use the title ''Look Up And Kiss Me'' ; )
but no offence if you know someone called Patrick who devotes his life to his pet cabbage

i do know someone called patrick but although he works in a shop that sells cabbages [amongst other things] he was much more interested in the passion flower i bought the other day!!!!
i never knew that about st patricks cabbage!!! and i see that its a native plant of the pyranees!!!
but i dont want to go to the GC and have to ask for "look up and kiss me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
