very nice - do you have any tips re distinguishing L.brachycalx from L.nevadenis before they flower? I have supposedly seedlings of both in their second year and they look suspiciously similar.

Lewisias in flower in the garden - it must mean summer is coming!

Mark, L brachycalyx leaves are wider than those of L nevadensis but....a broad leaved nevadensis and a narrow leaved brachycalyx could have the same width leaves. I do wish plants would read their descriptions before growing :P
L nevadensis leaves are generally 6mm or less wide, L brachycalyx 5-12 mm wide
