Dudleyas hanging in there

The Dudleyas are still flowering, so it can't be summer yet. The leaves are starting to get a bit ragged though.

That's a super colour! I've been trying to find a red flowered one for a while, but all my Dudleyas have white or yellow flowers.

It is D. lanceolata, not one of the ones usually seen in cultivation. It is cold-hardy, but still summer-"dormant".
