Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
Early Saxifrage (Saxifraga virginiensis)

(Saxifrage, Early - 02) The early saxifrage grows to heights of from 4 to 12 inches (10-30 cm.).  These were on the shorter side.  The leaves of the early saxifrage are basal and grow in a rosette around the hairy stem.  The coarsely toothed leaves are wedge-shaped or oval.  There are no leaves on the stems.  The lichen growing on the rocks added character to the photo and interest to our visit.
