Very nice to see Johan, mine will be a couple of weeks yet.

Yellow Tweedyi due to go to a nursery friend of mine - it had seeded all the way through the plunge in one of the alpine houses - they are just starting to green up -so need to be gone[attachimg=1]

Still waiting for mine, the end of this week might do it.
-
has anyone got a strong well flowering pure White Lewisia tweedyi - mine just limps along from year to year - never produces many flowers and never seen any seed off it - all the other colours do well with me just the white plant I have never looks good?
-
I bought one from Ashwood last year, time will tell!
-

Thanks David.

Sun Ray lamps?
Nothing special.
These plants are in an unheated greenhouse.

Funnily enough so has mine, I thought I was tempting Providence.
-
I had a mixed seed pot - var rosea and alba (from the year before). I had hoped I had several albas but it seems all the rest were roseas. If anything the alba was bigger and more vogorous than the roseas.

A few flowering Lewisia.

And a first flower in the rockgarden on a Lewisia cotyledon hybrid.

Johan, nice collection there. Are they all in the garden, I have never dared to try them outside in my climate?
-
Thanks for the nice comment David.
Only the last picture is taken in the garden.
Other plants in the garden will start to flower soon.
The other plants stand in an unheated greenhouse in a pot, and a few in a small rockgarden in an open greenhouse.

Two Lewisia cotyledon 'Patty's Plum' in pot.
And Lewisia cotyledon hybrid in the garden.

Lewisia rediviva
I think this is their third flowering from seed sown in January 2009
I had seed from AGS and SRGC seed exchanges but it was from the same donor. Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Fowler for collecting such fine seed which has given me plants that have survived my hit or miss cultivation for longer than any I've had before.
-
Roma, thanks for showing these fantastic flowers. They are so gorgeous.
-
Lovely Roma, I never have any success with rediviva.

Congratulations, Roma, they are gorgeous !!

Thanks Maggi, David, Luc. I can't resist showing more pictures. The three pink ones together then the pale pink with the two whites followed by three individual flowers.
-
So much variation when you look at them closely and all together like that. Beautiful plants, Roma.
-
Variable and all are beautiful.
-
A few Lewisia's.
-
That's a good white, Johan. 8)

Thank You Maggi.

This Lewisia columbiana did very well this year.
The plant must be 12 or 13 years old and has lost rosettes that rotted off in the past, but it recovers every time and this is the result.
-
Oh wow Luc, I have a little one of these in the rock garden. I hope it does half as well as yours.
-
Magnifico Luc, far better than mine which is under glass.
