Mossy Saxifrage

Mossy Saxifrage (Saxifraga hypnoides)

Looking for Common Wintergreen (Pyrola minor) in woodland to the south west of Morpeth but it hasn't been recorded here since the early nineties. I couldn't find any plants but I did come across Mossy saxifrage. Cultivars rarely escape but this plant has somehow established itself in a stony clearing in the wood. It was growing beside White stonecrop, Bugle, Enchanters Nightshade and Wood sage. It is found in the Cheviot hills as a rare native in the county.
