Saxifraga × arendsii (var. ‘Touran Pink’) and Aubrieta deltoidea (purple rock cress)
Pink and purple are an attractive combination and both of these little rockery plants do well artistically in terms of ‘companion gardening’. They bloom at the same time (although the the rock cress is a couple of days behind) and their flowers are exactly the same size. These photos were taken in front of a recently-built house and this lovely display looks like the work of a professional landscape-gardener to me.

Early saxifrage blooming on a little shelf on a cliff, from one of my walks yesterday. The cliffs were also loaded with native columbine.

Saxifraga rosacea (Irish saxifrage)
Spring is just roaring along out here on the west coast and new flowers are showing up every day. In it's European homeland this little saxifrage is found on the banks of mountain streams but it also grows on cliffs and scree slopes. Now it adds a little color to rock gardens and and it's an attractive ground cover too. Incidentally, the Latin word saxifraga means "stone-breaker" and it was used in ancient times as a medicinal herb to treat bladder and kidney stones.
