Oh I love all three....especially the first one. ![[Smile]](im/smile.gif)
Bitter root sure doesn't fit the beauty of the flowers.

TOO MANY!!! just kidding of course because I am still buying more every week....
I could only guess how many plants I have under cultivation... 4-500 shrubs and perennials and bunches of bulbs and annuals.
One of these days I'll map the gardens out and we'll know for sure!

Lewisia cotyledon comes in shades of white to pink or with red and white stripes.
Lewisia howellii has larger flowers in shades of white to pink.
Lewisia tweedyi has salmon pink flowers.
Lewisia columbiana has white flowers with pink veins.
Lewisia rediviva produces 2" rose or white flowers AFTER the foliage dies back in the spring. (looks like a little water lily, sitting alone over bare dirt...) I don't have one but I sure wanna get one.
........ and then there are hybrids...

Like everyone else has already stated I adore the bitter root. But I'm in virginia and it does get hot. The idea of having it in the house though that might work.

Pacific Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum)
The hardy Pacific Maidenhair Fern can add a bit of graceful elegance to any shaded area of your garden. The fronds emerge in early spring on black, wire-like stems that reach 18-24 inches. They prefer a rich, humus soil and constant, even moisture.
