This is Lewisia--it's a really cool succulent plant that grows in rock gardens. The name comes from Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition, who discovered it.
Couldn't resist the center of this tulip playing peek-a-boo through the drooping petals. It's a little blown-out, but such is life...
And--this is just a snapshot, but what a shot! An outdoor sighting of R, dressed in outdoor clothes, ready for a walk with Roma the Amazing. He is doing so much better. It makes my heart happy to see him back in his jeans--for a while there he was too thin to keep them on.
