Have you any details of whereabouts in the Dales you were and what sort of habitat?

The habitat for them all was upland limestone. 1-5 were on the rocky sides of a beck. And 6-8 were in a damp area of limestone. The area for images 1-5 was Langstrothdale, the area for images 68 was the Ribble valley.

Thanks for this - just trying to get my head around this group!

The first three look like Sedum or stonecrop.

Thanks for this - Sedum dasyphyllum has been suggested to me, but I was not sure how to rule out Sedum villosum.

I was thinking about Sedum villosum for 6,7 & 8 - I think the 6th petal in number 6 is just abberant there seem to be only 5 stigma.

I wondered about one of the odd saxifrages for number 1-3. It almost looks like a dwarf version of London Pride. There's a thing called Pyrenean Saxifrage that occurs in Heselden Gill that looks vaguely similar in the books. I've never actually seen it myself so it's only a wild guess really.

I've seen a pic of Saxifraga apiculata that looks very much like one of your plants.

You could try Googling this one, but I think it's a cultivated plant.

Thanks for this - I think you are right with Sedum villosum. However I am not sure about the apparent saxifrage.
