Beautiful Frankie, I'm sorely tempted to grow some more of them. If only I had the space!

I agree.

Frankie, your plants are beautiful, and I like their "habitats" very much!

Does anyone know if this Saxifraga has a name?
I bought it at the SRGC Show at Stirling in March 1990.  It was labelled seedling from Winifred and came from Lismore nursery (Brian Burrows).
The colour is not quite accurate.  It opens a brick red and fades to a biscuit colour.  Never going to be a show plant but I like it.

Hi,
Saxifraga dinniki opened here today, quite a bit later than it normally does, but also with many more flowers than ever before. It has been in this trough now for five years, and has come through two very wet winters and two very cold winters in good style.
