Nice plant!! Looks like R.pemakoense.

I think its radicans something because the leaves are very small. I am still looking for the book in which I wrote down the name and the date when I bought it. It was pre computer time and I never bothered to transfer my records. It does show light pink and never purple.

I thought of R. pemakoense also. The general plant shape, general leaf shape, coloring and abundance of the flowers are like that one. But I'm not sure it all fits exactly. Fits at least the familiar clone. If this is from a subsequent, different introduction - if there have been any - it might be a little different for that reason.

The leaves of r. radicans are even smaller and radicans grows in a more prostrate form rather than upright. The blossoms do look like pemakoense. The rolled back appearance of the petals is pretty characteristic. There is also a Peter Cox hybrid named Phalarope. R. pemakoense is one of the parents.

Phalarope does look just like it, even the leaf size and shape. I moved it Ukiah and now its in a pot. I hope it can make it. One issue was insects infected each bud, when it was not under my care, and I had to trim most of them off. It not going to bloom that great this year, but normally when it blooms the whole thing just explodes with bloom.

I took a new photo a leaf close up.
