Really lovely Lori.  I grow this, but it NEVER increases, after many years the plant I have is still a single rosette.

Lesquerella alpina grown this spring from seed is starting to bud!  Guess it will be short-lived!

Bite your tongue, Todd! Grin   
I was just pleased to note that my Cheiranthus roseus, from seed this spring, will bloom this year... Oh well, in case it doesn't winter over, at least I will have gotten to see it!

I've had Lesquerella alpina and L. arizonica live for years--nay! decades!--but only in troughs. I don't know what it is about troughs that makes certain plants perenniate...in fact, they form gnarly, picturesque little bonsai. Attached is a picture of some very old Lesquerella alpina I grew outside in a pot for easily 15 years.

I am not kidding! Although you have cold winters etc you have a rather dry inland climate with more sun and warmer days (in summer) compared to me Grin
