This plant is on the top of my list in autumn bloomers. You can place this on your hand.

Cute...I've tried that one but it is not hardy in my area. There are several fall-flowering saxifrages that look similar to fortunei....stolonifera (a houseplant in my area), madida and veitchiana.

Hi Zuzu and Todd,

Yes, sorry to say it is sensitive to the extreme cold. S.fortunei has been
cultivated well in here. There are so many kind of garden variety in Japan. It is very popular plant.
