  • Question

    Hello, this is a plant which is photographed in Croatia, it grows at the slopes of Dinara mountain. Can you indentify it? It flowers in mid-May. Sincerely, Simon

    Answer

    Dear Simon, you have photographed a species of Saxifraga (saxifrage). It appears to be Saxifraga paniculata (white mountain saxifrage), a species that has lime-encrusted pores near the apex of each tooth on the basal leaves). Beautiful images--thank you for sharing.
