    What is it?

    As we whip the borders of the bocce/croquet field into shape, we're discovering new stuff. We figure if it survived the winter and a shelf of ice for 2 months, it's a good choice for expansion. But what is it (other than very cute)?

    Hadn't thought of that. The single stem is right, but the leaves are fine and cut. Seems that saxifrage has broad leaves. There are a million types though.

    It's only about 5" tall. Did I say its very, very cute?

    definitely not a geranium. Saxifrage.

    Heh, from the title I figured you found another bizzare unidentified growth inside your house and were going to try to blame me for it again.
