I realize it's not strictly speaking Saxifraga, but I'm sure that neither Reginald Farrer nor Malcolm would object to treating it in this section...Telesonix jamesii is one of our supreme endemic Colorado plants (I know, I know, there is a Telesonix called jamesii that occurs in the Middle Rockies of Wyoming and Montana that pretends to be this same thing: that miserable creature is Telesonix heucheriformis: Those of us who have seen and know both know they are different creatures, and our Colorado species is far superior)...
I couldn't resist posting two pictures showing them blooming last year: this is supposed to be a very fussy little thing that doesn't bloom well in cultivation. That may be true in open soil, but it loves troughs...It's been in this trough for some time now. I will be anxious to see how it blooms this coming year.
