This was a new plant for me, seen growing from the rocky wall in a small canyon, southwest of the city. We hiked up and down rolling hills to Loree Canyon, Nanton. The flowers are 15-20 mm across, 5 petals, 5 sepals. Grows June-July on moist banks in alpine to montane forests. "Nodding Saxifrage produces small, reddish purple bulblets in the axils of the upper leaves. These bulblets, a form of vegetative reproduction, are shed and grow into new plants."
