Hi Ray ,

Now after seeing where is your location is it clear -this is Acis trichophylla "Rosea"

Please look for my older posting -there is a pic :

Ray,

Congrats, very nice.  I must search out and find mine of that..... I bought it years ago from somewhere lost in the misty recesses of my memory, and it has barely ever multiplied.  Yours looks like it is a good doer though, so obviously better stock than mine is/was (given I can't recall the last time I saw it, it could very well be a "was"  ::)).  Mine also never had that wide open flower on it like that.  I think I might have to ask Marcus about whether he has any of those on offer this coming summer..... that is VERY nice. 8)
