Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this flower I photographed at around 900m OD on Snowdon. It's very small; it's head is only about 1/2 cm in width.

Thanks in advance

In reply to dansmonkeytroubles: I think it's English Stonecrop... looks quite like it anyway.

What do you think?

Looks a bit like Starry Saxifrage and also like White Stonecrop
but I don't think it's either, sorry !!

In reply to dansmonkeytroubles: looks like a saxifrage, compare with some of the photos here http://www.florealpes.com/resultat.php?chaine=saxifraga&button=Go!

(but obviously thats a Swiss site so many of those won't ocur in Wales)

It looks like a sedum of some sort . . . maybe English Stonecrop / sedum anglicum?

I'd agree, it is not a saxifrage. Have you got any photos of the rest of the plant?
In reply to MtnDze: Not saxifrage and my money is on stonecrop and being in Wales probably English stonecrop (bizzare that sounds I know)

In reply to dansmonkeytroubles: Another vote for the stonecrop (esp if the size estimate is accurate - it's too small for a saxifrage)

On a general note to folks posting pictures of flowers for ID - if you
can include some of the leaves/ basal rosette or whatever as well, that's a big help, as is some sort of scale - drop a coin into your picture, for eg
Thanks so much to everyone who posted; unfortunately I have no other decent photos.
I’ll look into stonecrop/saxifrage ideas.

Cheers
Dan
