Is this Triteleia laxa or Brodiaea californica?

Hi Brodiaea and Triteleia experts,

I currently have two blooms that look the same but have different labels.

The pink one:

B_calif_inflorescence.JPEG
The purple one:
T_laxa_BX447-24_1stBloom.JPEG
T_laxa_hand4scale.JPEG
T_laxa_inflorescene.JPEG

The pink one I have labeled Brodiaea californica from a BX years back. This
has bloomed every year, even through the neglected years. This year it is
having its most robust inflorescence. It looks identical to the purple one
except the color and the pink is just finishing its bloom but the purple is
just starting.

The purple one from BX447-24 is labeled Triteleia laxa. This is the first
bloom for me. Info that came with it: Triteleia laxa K10P.TL01 - Nevada
County. Donor initials KMcM.

The pink I believe I grew from seed PBS NY 2012 item 9, the New Year's
surplus distribution, donor not listed. I am not 100% certain that is the
provenance but it is my only accession record of that species.

Looking at the wiki page for Brodiaea
https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
the B. californica does look like mine. Whereas the page for Triteleia
https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
does not resemble these. I do grow a lot of T. laxa but only a few of those
have buds emerging now, not looking to open soon.
