It’s great to discover that your surprising flower is native to Northern California!
It can grow with water scarcity as it’s a succulent, storing water in its thick leaves and large root.
It has generous clusters of 50 or so blooms.
.......and yes that color is common, various peach, salmon-pink and pink red flowers, even on the same plant!
Wiki: Cliff Maids - Lewisia cotyledon
There’s a taller variant in the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa, that is so sought after that folk hawk illegally harvested seeds. It’s all illegal. One cultivar got to London and was awarded a place in the Royal Horticultural Society’s main exhibition.
Thanks, Klaus for introducing this fairly common exotic beauty to us.
