Another flower - Lewisia

I grew lewisia in my gardens in Tumwater, and loved the lovely symmetrical lightly striped petals, with the yellow stamens. The plant does well in Preston by growing it in a pot that winters over in the garage placed by a window. This plant is just coming into bloom - lots of little buds to brighten our days.

Can't resist when the material is right on one's doorstep! Summer will be over too soon, and then we'll be back in the snow. Have to live it up as long as we can. Besides, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
