This was a new one on me - this flower was discovered by Meriwether Lewis in 1806 growing on rocky cliff sides in the northwestern USA. It was subsequently named after him. It's great for rock gardens and even containers and belongs to the bitteroot family. I'm posting a bit early because we are in for night of bad thunderstorms and I'm concerned about losing power.

No wonder that I haven't seen this flower before. Kathy!
Thanks for providing us with this image of a to me unknown beauty!

Take care. I hope that the bad thunderstorms will pass you at a far distance.

They are gorgeous Kathy, and the full frame presentation of them is perfect so we can fully enjoy them. I hope you made it through the night without loosing power, I heard a few rumbles last night but nothing bad. tigs=^..^=
