SAXIFRAGA MEGASEIFLORA VLADANA

When I was in the Alpine House at the Royal Horticultural Society gardens at Harlow Carr in March, I took this photograph of a really lovely alpine: Saxifraga Megaseiflora Vladana.  You can see how the size of the flowers dwarfs the leaves when it is in full bloom.  You can also see that it is grown in a terracotta pot with gravel around its base.  The medium which it is grown in will be gritty.  It reminds me of photograph of Saxifraga Touran Large White which I posted earlier today.  It's interesting that although they belong to the same family, their growing requirements are quite different.
