LEWISIAS FLOWERING IN AUTUMN

I began a small collection of Lewisias in summer last year, and fell in love with them.  I have four different types now, all outside in terracotta pots.  The one which was labelled Lewisia 'Special Collection' was divided up this year and already the young plants have, and are, producing flowers.  Lewisia longipetala 'Little Plum' is extremely beautiful, and strong, and is full of flower, yet again; this must be the third flowering session it's had this year.  The white Lewisia cotyledon is simply amazing right now.  Lewisia tweedyi 'Rosea' is just producing some buds at the moment but is not in full flower.
