Jim Hatchett, thank you. All: Jim doubtless knows this. On the US Forest Service site itself there is more about Lewisia sacajaweana, with other photos both here http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/lewisia_sacajaweana.shtml
and here, where the separation from L. kelloggii is described http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/rareplants/conservation/success/lewisia_kelloggii_spp.shtml Paige ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Hatchett" <[email protected]> To: "'Alpine-L, the Electronic Rock Garden Society;postings copyright by authors.'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 9:43 PM Subject: [Alpine-l] Lewisia sacajaweana >I am sort of curious to know if other folks on the Alpine list have this > newly described species, Lewisia sacajaweana in cultivation.
