Golden saxifrage.

 

 

The golden saxifrage begins flowering in wet swamp forests, on the banks of water bodies … By the way, it is unknown to the inhabitants of Saaremaa .

 

The golden saxifrage looks very special, pale yellowish-green in colour. The bract leaves have the same hue, forming a pretty collar around the inflorescence and in turn supported by the upper leaves.The upper leaves are fleshy, with crenate edges. It is almost impossible to confuse with any other plant.
