David, all your saxes are wonderful but that Sax. Jaromir is fantastic. What great color!

Thanks Anne, I haven't a clue where I got Jaromir from. If you haven't already got one you would love Cuscutiformis. I divided my plant earlier in the year and I now have four plants and stacks of little rooted offsets that form on the ends of long red stolons, a good value-for-money plant.

David, I'll be on the lookout for it although the only saxes that can grow here are the "silvers". I have lots of those and they seem to handle heat and drought reasonably well. Your garden must be wonderful.

Aberconwy nursery in Wales sell 'Jaromir' Anne, but that's not much use to you I know. But for anyone over here who have been tempted, that's where to head. I grow it in a tufa bed and it does very well and seems easy to please....(famous last words?).

My collection of Saxifraga fortunei cultivars really struggled this Summer and I'm not expecting a lot of them this year but this one S. f. 'Rubrifolium' in a different and more shady place has done quite well.
