Chrysoplenium oppositifolium - Golden Saxifrage
Beside small streams, where water runs over
shaded rocks, where springs emerge in woodland - these are the kinds of places you will
find golden saxifrage.
The most commonly occurring species in Wales is opposite-leaved golden
saxifrage, shown here.
From April until July these tiny flowers deck roadside ditches and other
damp places; but, because the flower petals are golden green and the young leaves a very
similar colour, many people do not notice the flowers at all.
