I especially like the saxifrages that are colorful even before they bloom.
You have some really nice ones of those, Wim!

There are quite a lot which do that, Rick. Saxes are very nice plants (and not very hard to grow, which is a plus too!)

Wim- every one is beautiful! I haven't got any seed for saxes yet, since I haven't known where to start! I only have native S aizoides..
David- looks like it grew there naturally!

Great collection Wim! Mine are budded but frozen. Maybe late April will see a few blooms.

The second species of Saxifraga in flower here is S juniperifolia. (The first is S oppositifolia collected in N Norway) Most of the plant is in shade and do not flower. Only two small pieces have one scape each. Here is one of them:

That's a nice spiny sax Trond. It is not available here.
Did you grow it from seed?

It has been very cool and wet this month in coastal British Columbia and the
Saxifraga oppositifolia
are still in flower in the garden.

David, I have a couple of big clumps of
Saxifraga juniperifolia subsp. macedonica
(
S. sancta v. macedonica
) and could try to get some cuttings going for you, if this particular one is of interest.
Interesting that
S. oppositifolia
is still in bloom there! It is such an early bloomer in the wild here that I only manage to catch a few of the latest flowers.

David, I do not remember! (And I do not file my plants
) It is two possibilities however, either did I grow it from seed myself or I got it from someone who had. I have had it for more than 10 years. . . .
Seems you can get it from Lori, But I'll look for seed anyway.
