The first thing to say about Yellow Mountain Saxifrage is not always yellow, it’s relatively rare but you’ll also find dark red or orange plants like this one at Isenau above Les Diablerets. It’s a magnet for insects and will attract wasps, bees and beetles and so on. It favours cliffs with trickling water and damp slopes so this is a typical location.
