Though I purchased this from Ashwood, it was named after the guy called John Lawson.

Had that wrong then,John Lawson if i remember correctly owned the the Jack Drake alpine nursery in Scotland for a good many years ,I visited it back in the late 1980s when the spring Gentians were in flower ,quite a sight to see.

1980s.....I was just an elementary-school student at the time!

P.S. I don't know why & how this variety can be distinctive and named as John's Special......

What else?
See who else is growing Lewisia cotyledon (read more here).
See who else has plants in genus Lewisia.
that will be John from Ashwood i guess he must have rated that one to put his name on
