Lewisiopsis tweedyi

Lewisiopsis tweedyi, formerly Lewisia tweedyi, is one of Washington's most beautiful and rarest wildflowers. It grows in rocky areas in a small area around Leavenworth on the east side of the Cascades. It has flowers in soft pinks and yellows that are up to three inches across and each plant is covered with flowers during its blooming season. I had to go a long way up Derby Canyon this past spring to find it in flower and nearly fell down the steep rocky slope on which they were growing when trying to take photos.
