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 and nearly fell down the steep rocky slope on which they were growing when trying to take photos. On another note, my presence on Ipernity will be sporadic over the next few weeks since we will be traveling cross-country to Michigan to visit family, a journey of some 2000 miles. We'll be stopping at some of the national parks along the way and visiting friends as well and will not actually be in Michigan until the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I'll get on as opportunity presents itself, but opportunity will be especially rare in the national parks and we'll be busy with other things in any case.

This is Lewisia tweedyi, one of our wildflower treasures. It grows only in the Wenatchee Mountains of eastern Washington and southern British Columbia. The flowers are up to four inches in diameter (9cm) and come in these delicate shades of white, yellow, pink and orange. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/05/orchid-hunting-in-leavenworth-area.html

Also known as Tweedy's Lewisia, this rare and beautiful wildflower was photographed west of Leavenworth in Steven's Pass, Washington.

Here's another picture of one of Washington's most beautiful wildflowers. We found these growing on rock ledges in Steven's Pass near Leavenworth in the detritus and moss that had collected there, where a misstep would have scraped them off the rock. We were on our way home from a field trip with the Washington Native Orchid Society when we found these. A description of our trip and other pictures can be found on my blog at: ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/05/washington-... .
