DESESPOIR du PEINTRE… Saxifrage

 

PLEASE VIEW LARGE.

From the garden, late Spring-early Summer.I love the ‘dramatic’ lighting, the depth that creates.

The true despair of the painter, with the graceful flowers, whose colouring are nigh impossible for the painter to reproduce them.

London Pride is a hybrid between Saxifraga umbrosa, native to the Spanish Pyrenees, and Saxifraga spathularis (which is the plant to which the name St Patrick's Cabbage more correctly belongs, coming from western Ireland).

The hybrid has been known at least since the 17th century.

Some images are extremely close to my heart, this is one of them.

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, hope you all had a great time!
