France, July 2022 :: Petrorhagia saxifraga for validation :: ARK2022-087: 2 high res. images.
This was clicked at the Eze Botanical Garden near Nice, France in July 2022.
An FB group suggested Petrorhagia saxifraga. Requested to please validate.
Eze Botanical Gardens is situated on the French riviera (on the Mediterranean coast) and houses a host of succulent plants and xerophytes from all the continents.


Yes, appears close as per images at Wikipedia.


But are the succulent leaves part of this Petrorhagia saxifraga ?


No …, the succulent leaves do not belong to this plant.
I have requested the ID of the succulent leaves in another post.
