Scenes from the deck, Part 6

I bought two colors of fuchsias, both have two-color blooms.


The fuchsias that were bigger when I got them are in full bloom.


The ones that were smaller are just coming into bud.


The saxifraga. I looked it up online, and "saxifraga" means "stone breaker." The plants grow naturally in the cracks of stones. They are alpine plants. There is a Saxifrage Society consisting mostly of Europeans (looks like majority Brits, with some Dutch and Scandinavians).
