agavex:plantyhamchuk:kihaku-gato:omgplants:eunnui:lietle-cinnamon-roll:The honeysuckle is out in my garden! It’s so pretty~I found some other small flowers too, but I’m having trouble identifying them - especially that purple one - anyone have any ideas? @eunnui@florantiathe last one looks like some sort of crassula ??? not sure tho@omgplantsThe purple one sorta looks like some sort of herb (not sure), but I am not sure what the last one is either. Maybe someone can help?!The purple one is Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans). Contrary to the name it’s a very common and popular perennial groundcover.Flowers in the last one remind me of Gaura, but the foliage looks all wrong. Hm.The last one is Saxifraga urbium. I think you’re right! And what a neat plant: “Saxifrages are typical inhabitants of Arctic–alpine ecosystems, and are hardly ever found outside the temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere; most members of this genus are found in subarctic climates.[citation needed] A good number of species grow in glacial habitat, such as S. biflora which can be found some 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) above sea level in the Alps, or the East Greenland Saxifrage (S. nathorstii).[citation needed] The genus is also abundant in the Eastern and Western Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows.[citation needed] Though the archetypal saxifrage is a small plant huddling between rocks high up on a mountain,[citation needed] many species do not occur in such habitatand are larger (though still rather delicate) plants found on wet meadows.Various Saxifraga species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of some butterflies and moths, such as the Phoebus Apollo (Parnassius phoebus).[9]” -- source link
