that orange is stunning - mine are not even budding up yet
I have a Lewisia called Archangel which has tiny little white flowers - I think it might have been part of a series - does anyone have any of the other 'angel' series or know anything about them - its sterile - there was apparently a red one in the series? - any information would be appreciated - thanks

Hi Graeme, can't say I've ever heard mention of an angel series. Archangel is certainly worth persistence, the flowers may be small but it can be persuaded to produce them in vast quantities. I'd also be interested to hear of others in the series

According to The Plantfinder Ryal Nursery in Northumberland list a Lewisia 'Archangel' but don't do mail order but I can't find any trace of an 'Angel Series'

As far as I know Ryal are the only current supplier, and usually in short supply too. Not the fastest Lewisia to bulk up as a stock plant.

The start of the Lewisia season for us . This nice pink Lewisia hybrid blooms for us April to December, more or less.
This one is more than 25 years old and still going strong.

This red cotyledon is way earlier than its neighbours in the garden.

It's cotyledon, Peter, grown from seed from the Ashwood nursery red strain, years ago.

Wish I could see them in the wild Robert.
Nice red cotyledons Luc, I have some from Ashwood seed that should flower this year.
My Lewisia tweedyi of an apricot shade that I grew from seed quite a few years ago now.

David,
I will post some photos of our wild Lewisias when I get a chance. In the Salmon Mountains I've seen Lewisia cotyledon growing by the thousands in the forest duff, not the site one would except! There are other species local to our area.
I never get to Eastern Washington these days to see the L. tweedyi.
Luc,
Very nice red Lewisia. What sort of blooming season do you have with your climatic conditions?
