User's notes
Already reported but updating numbers sue to a bumper year at the Pinnacle. At least 60 plants in flower. There was some discussion on whether there was a separate species here. The flowers on Photo 5 look much lighter in colour than other plants even though it was surrounded by the more common species. I'll leave it to the experts.

Hairs on the leaves and number of leaflet segments are more important to ID than flower colour
