As best as I can recall, I have only seen this plant at the botanical gardens in the mountain village of Bourg saint Pierre, Valais region, in Switzerland. It is at the entrance, just off the roadside, on the left and is one of the prettiest saxifrages around.
A dainty specimen, one could say fragile but anything that survives at this altitude is hardly feeble or frail, to the contrary, it is a saxifrage, a survivor, adept at survival at high altitude living and surviving under the snows in winter, retaining it's food in leaves and feeding from roots underground, and then reappearing for fresh air and summer sunshine in the spring and summer.
It reaches a height of perhaps 60cm, as in this case where it is on the sheltered side of a little hill, with delicate stems reaching up to the light above a bed of succulent leaves that cover the ground beneath in a light green covering, with 5 leaves on each plant performing their feeding duty they use the light to create food for their flowers to feed on to be beautiful enough to attract incoming pollinators. The flowers are a delight and are not to be missed. The white petals are interspersed with cute pink stamen and pink bobbles on each stamen creating a pink and white polka dot look.
I wonder what it looks like to a bee, it must be a very appealing stemmy, elegant structure with a not unattractive flower head.
The flowers are not completely dissimilar to English stone crop that you see in Cwm Idwal in North Wales in the Snowdonia National Park (English) / Eryri National Park (Welsh), although those appear cuter given their shorter cropped nature.
This is a more elegant affair with equal amounts of pink and white stimulant attracting the eye.
