      They are fantastic KSpirit. I won't be doing any for a while but when I do I will send you the photos. Thanks for the inspiration.

          Love all those beautiful pictures saxifrage is a favourite of mine. My Alpine area, come to that my whole garden has been neglected for a couple of years due to ill health.

          My husband and I have been tidying up and I am looking forward to changing my rockery and water feature, putting some of these lovely plants in again. My front is filled with pebbles, low growing juniper and Hebe's ( He likes them they remind him of home, Dunedin, New Zealand)

          I still have a little saxifrage not in flower yet usually bright red and a plant I know as variegated London Pride. I hope to freshen the area by adding some heathers and a few other Alpines.

          It is so nice that you have inspired me and I have a direction for this area of the garden.

          Thank you

          Marie

                Longk. There's a load of them flowering now, mostly under the snow. Foster's Gold had just one or two flowers on it around Christmas time but it's slowly producing more flowers month by month. None of them have exhibition style flowers yet, though. I'll try and take more pics at the weekend.

                      I love those large round containers, they're really successful!
