Beautiful photos! I meet Saxifraga stellaris very often in the Alps and it is mostly found on mossy tundra or by mountain streams between 1800 and 2700 m.
I very much enjoyed browsing your website. Your plants are just marvellous.

The view with Cassiope tetragona is extraordinary. It really is something completely outside my experience and wonderful to see it. Greap posting.

Magnar,

Your Phyllodoce caerulae is wonderful, a true gem.
