I bought a couple of these from Trader Joe's a couple of years ago.
Much to my amazement, they have come back each year since then. In
fact, they are blooming right now.

Cathy,

I would mail this privately but I think that the rest of the group
might be interested to know this.

I have seens Lewisias at Ralph's and Trader Joes grocery stores in, as
you say, "Hollywierd".

Here in OH I have seen them at several local nurseries in the
"country" area between Akron and Canton. So, if they have them here in
"the country" at mom and pop locations, I'm surre she will be able to
find them there. Now, they aren't anything named or really unusual but
mass marketed hybrid labels. There was a nice double peach that I saw
yesterday.

Here they are about $12.00 for a 1 gal. but at home at Trader Joes,
I've seen them for $7 or $8 for a 4" in full bloom. Or was that at
Ralph's?
