David.......I am envious. I can't grow lewisias for love nor money here. Just can't keep them cool enough at night. Beautiful plants. Well done.

To try and capture the amazing flowers and habitat, I took some video footage of the Lewisia rediviva on our Mount Kobau trip and have posted it on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/user/MountainFlora?feature=mhee#p/a/u/0/X8Zt8Y_6iLA

I included a music track from Pierre Fournier's stunning rendition of the Bach suites for solo cello.  However, YouTube does a digital match, figures out what the track is and determines the copyright status. If the music is deemed copyright they include ads on the video and presumably compensate the artist in some way.  It is easy enough to click off the ads.  Unfortunately the copyright requirements are such that the video is blocked in Germany.  If anyone in Germany wants to see it, please let me know and I will upload a version without Bach in the background.

Extraordinarily touching to see the flowers with the music.
Perfect to take video when the spot is windy.... no worries about the images blurring.

Pity you didn't actually play the cello yourself, though, David!  ;) ;) :D

Lovely redivivas David.  The habitat looks much like our coastal headlands but no doubt the rainfall is different.

Is that a Cassiope at :42?

Fournier had dropped off my radar, thanks for the reminder of his greatness.

Great pictures David and I enjoyed the music too. I've yet to grow a good Lewisia rediviva in a pot much too wet to try them outside in my part of the world.

Actually Maggie,  I was playing the cello while filming - I have an attachment that fixes the camera to my hat.  Pierre Fournier is my stage name.

John: The South Okanagan is probably the driest area in Canada and is a threatened ecosystem:

I don't think it was a Cassiope. They usually do not grow in such arid conditions.

David:

It is also very wet here in coastal BC but I have had no difficulty growing L. rediviva outside in a well-drained dry location. They seem to be able to take any amount of winter wet when growing.  I suspect our summers are drier than in Devon which may make the difference as L. rediviva is summer dormant.

You're right David. Apart from a degree or two of temperature there's no discernable difference between winter and summer here. Both are wet!!

I thought I spotted a cassiope too... but perhaps it was a very robust club moss!

It's good to have company Maggi! When in St Anthony's, Newfoundland a prominent plantsman came screaming from the hinterland saying he thought he had found Cassiope hypnoides seedlings. We all went dashing off to see them.... they were junipers.  No names - promise.

Peter:  I have uploaded the same video without the background soundtrack so it will be available in Germany.  Pity about Bach but I guess you get lots of his music anyway:
