My weekly Thursday after work trip produced this

That is a very lovely find!! I also got lewisia a month ago..and really likes it dry..blooming nicely during our heat wave temps.

I'll do my best to keep it alive.

I deadhead it when the blooms are done and it makes new blooms nicely.

Good! I was wondering about that. I always try to buy a plant with the least blooms but most buds.

These are my little ones:

That is the one I have too
I made it through the worst winter we have had in 20 years


and is now blooming it's head off

Thank you for posting this. I have seen them and wondered if they were really hardy for our climate.

If I try it I will do what looks like you did with great drainage. That might help with the survival.
