Saxifraga 'Tvuj Pisen'. Zero input from me, the worst the Western Isles climate can throw at it and this is how it repays me!

I swear I will make an alpine house when I retire.. with a solar powered air-conditioner. then I will grow saxifrages like you Northerners. . .

Just something that happens sometimes, Sue - we think it's to do with how the pic is saved initially from the camera - not sure. I can usually beat them into submission here!

That is most impressive alpine house I have seen in a long while - please post more pictures

That is a fantastic setup you have Sue. Some cracking plants, nicely laid out and labelled too. Very impressed and inspired!
