Lewisia "Pinkie"



Lewisia Pinkie is one of the older Lewisia hybrids, it used to be quite common in the 70s but seems less available these days, presumably superceded by the various "Little" and "Carousel" hybrids/ cultivars.

But I still think it has a place with it's clear pink flowers. Looking good in the greenhouse right now.
