I’m an American, trying to get a living “Bergfrue” (Norwegian national flower, A.K.A. Pyramidal saxifrage) plant to honor my wife’s Norwegian heritage, but I can’t find it in the US. Any suggestions?

1. My wife recently got an image similar to the one above as a tattoo, so a living plant would be a nice gesture.

   I’m pretty open to any suggestions. My two basic ideas are:

   * Plan a vacation to Norway, find a plant in the mountains and bring it home.

   * Find a person or a store in Norway who could ship me seeds or a bulb or whatever it is it grows from.

   But it sounds like it might actually be very rare, and not commonly grown in gardens, so maybe this is a fool’s errand? I can’t tell.

   Even something like a dried, pressed, framed flower might be nice.

2. You could just pick our other national flower. It grows in America too, so way easier access.

3. Bringing in foreign plants can be extremely devastating to the local flora. Please do not plant these outside!
