But

when you found it there it is dolomite, not limestone!

maybe a sandwort?

(Arenaria)

Haven't found a species with leaves like that, though...

Re: maybe a sandwort?

It looks like it, but I can't find one with those clustered flowers.

Re: maybe a sandwort?

The sandwort around here is A. Groenlandica, and usually has around four flowers per stem.

When they grow densely you have to look closely to count the stems: dense mat; but sometimes you find a lone stem:
early buds

PS "so alone, in the stone": rhyme, meter, scansion!

Re: maybe a sandwort?

Thanks for the info.

I checked on floresalpes al the Arenaria but I didn't found him, I miss the hairy leafs. I think I'm going to go to all the pages white flowers. (takes ages)
