This Lewisia tweedyi is sadly not going to Perth Show today for Sue Simpson Watt - poor George has hurt his knees and they are stuck at home.

been a good year - the tunnel they are in has been in the 40's most days - seem to like it
Just seem to be a lot of pure white ones - potted a lot of seedlings this year so hopefully next year should have a good display

I used to have quite a collection of Lewisias, mainly cotyledon forms, longipetala, oppositifolia, nevadensis and columbiana, but three years of struggle with woolly aphids gradually wiped them out (wiped out most of my Primulas too) and this year I'm inclined to start again from seed. But I couldn't resist buying one or two for some summer colour in the greenhouse.
Lewisia cotyledon 'Elise' and a longipetala hybrid Lewisia 'Little Tutti Frutti'.

These photos are from Facebook - by Lawrence Peet, of the stunning

, which won the Farrer Medal at the AGS East Cheshire show - isn't this plant lovely? And I believe this was
