Saxifraga rosacea ssp rosacea whole Saxifraga rosacea ssp rosacea close

We found this plant at the foot of the Burren's limestone pavement right next to the fairly busy coast road and hardly 200 metres from the sea. It isn't often that plant with an RRR rating is a roadside weed.

Although naturalised in a few places in Mainland Britain the only place this native now grows in quantity is in the south and west of Ireland.
