Strawberry geranium or creeping saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera)

Saxifraga stolonifera is a perennial flowering plant known by several common names, including Creeping Saxifrage, Strawberry Saxifrage, Creeping Rockfoil, the quite ambiguous "Aaron's beard", and Strawberry Begonia or Strawberry Geranium (it is neither a begonia nor a geranium).

The genera Saxifragopsis (strawberry saxifrage), and Saxifragella are sometimes included in Saxifraga.

Saxifragopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the saxifrage family containing the single species Saxifragopsis fragarioides, which is known by the common name strawberry saxifrage.

Other worthy plants include the strawberry geranium (Saxifraga stolonifera) and moneywort (Lysimachia nummularia).

The graceful strawberry plant, also known as mother-of-thousands (Saxifraga stolonifera), has rounded, deep olive-green leaves with ragged edges and silvery veins.

From this visit, I left for home clutching a burgundy-leafing creeping perennial, Saxifraga stolonifera 'Kinki Purple', and Lithophragma parviflorum, which looks like a miniature Jacob's Ladder but with white bells in spring.
