    Can you name these Saxifrages. One light pink one redder in the cultivar. There common ones sold at basic d.i.y. places. I like cultivar guesses if possible?

    And the last photo of a mound like grass moss alpine.

    Good apps could be useful for ident. Are there any or Google goggles is it?

    Thanks.

    Looks like I'm getting the below species via Google lens which pops up under the picture when your using Google photos. I find it's more accurate than apps from the past. I'd forgotten though to use that method. You loose anything up to 30% accuracy via apps to is my reasoning so why pay?

    Saxifraga Arendsii Robbie, Peter pan or the rich red names probably from what it lists. Hopefully :)

    Yes it's Saxifraga Arendesii. I don't know what the mossy type of plant is although it looks familiar. Not much help to you, sorry. :)

    The last photo is Irish moss (Sagina subulata), not really an alpine. It forms a nice mat with small white flowers in the summer.
