David, I found that Lewisias grow better in plastic pots so it must be environmental or some other reason, probably the mild winter. Mine used to flower better after getting some frost.

Thanks Martin and Michael. My Lewisias, to some extent, get very badly treated. They get chucked out of the greenhouse at the beginning of September into covered shelving outside, to let the bulbs come back in and they come back into the greenhouse normally in May when enough space is available for half-dormant bulbs to replace them in the shelving. Maybe my watering regime in plastic pots has been too "robust". Time will tell but it wouldn't surprise me if they are in full flower in September.

Some of mine, flowering over the last couple of weeks.

Flowering has been ok in pots, but less abundant on the plants in the open garden...

Last picture is my Lewisia Alley...  ;D

Very nice Martin. My Lewisias have been a dead loss this year.

could be a hybrid with L columbiana which could result in that colour

Thank you Diane and David,
I think, that you are right Diane. I was also a bit in doubt of the unusual
flower shape, not quite corresponding to L. cotyledon.

Very pretty Arie and a one I haven't seen before. I just checked the RHS Plant Finder and only one supplier lists it on this side of the pond.
