How beautiful they are, even when in bud.  Are they growing in troughs?  The rock looks like tufa?  How deep is the hole drilled?

Most of my saxifrages are growing in troughs and pots. The rock is tufa indeed. The holes are about 10 cm deep. On tufa, they are doing very well.

 Like a promise: one of the first saxes in bloom: S. 'Jan Neruda'. Several photos, because he's such a beauty.
