Yellow Mountain Saxifrage (Saxifraga aizoides)
Yellow Mountain Saxifrage, Saxifraga aizoides, June-Oct, 5-20cm high
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.

Also known as the round headed rampion or the round-headed horned rampion. You tend to find these on limestone soils over 2500m in height. We found this while on a via feratta locally.
