Steve:
My L. radiata var. pumila are in full bloom, too, not expecting the var.
radiata for another week or so. I guess I'm amazed that you are
successfully growing them without protection. I must admit I've not
tried to grow them without winter protection, but maybe I could???
Are yours on a south slope or wall?

L. longituba has large seed pods on it, L. squamigera is past but for a
few stragglers. My L. radiata, obtained locally years ago, sets lots of
seed every year and so I assume it's the diploid form, which may account
for the difference in flowering time - it's the only form I've ever grown,
so I don't really know. (If anyone wants any, I'll collect and send to
Dell this year.)
