Lewisia rediviva aka Bitter Root

Bitterroot, also known as Lewisia rediviva, is a small perennial herb in the family Montiaceae. Its name comes from its ability to regenerate from dry and seemingly dead roots. The plant has a fleshy taproot and a simple or branched base. It bears a single pink to lavender to white flower on a leafless stem with 5-6 linear bracts. The flower has 5-9 oval-shaped sepals ranging in color from whitish to deep pink or lavender. Flowering occurs from April through July. Bitterroot is native to western North America and can be found in grassland, open bushland, and forest. In 2009, the genus Lewisia was moved from the purslane family to the Montiaceae family. Oregon Bitter-Root, which belongs to the Lewisia genus, is a super rare houseplant that thrives with regular watering and abundant sunlight. It should be placed less than 3 feet from a window.
