Quite late for L. pseudotruncatella. Is this Pulmonuncula? These come quite late for me, some still flowering now.

Very interesting! Mine do have a bit more of a copper than shown in my picture. I do like a variety of flower colours. I love your 'Rose of Texas'. I will get seeds and grow them. (Mental note!)

Some lovely variations in colour there, Diane. Makes a nice change from the more usual white or yellow, (tu)
