Unknown Oxalis

Oxalis purpurea is common in cultivation and has the shiny bronzy
symmetrical pointed bulbs, and general appearance of the pictures. It comes
in a range of shades from white through rose and pink to a light
violet/lavender. It is, however, very vigorous, albeit spreading fairly
slowly unless bulbs or soil are moved...gophers ate all the unprotected
plants last year, but enough bulblets survived they have returned, and
bulbs the gopher moved to caches dozens of feet away are coming up in
clumps.

I have looked through the wiki and still am unable to identify this
oxalis. I got the bulbs from a retail nursery probably 25 years ago so I
doubt that it is rare. It is winter blooming and summer dormant in the
Campbell, CA (south of San Francisco Bay in north central California.) It
has both pink and white flowers and some tend towards lavender. It isn’t
too aggressive at least not as much so as some other Oxalis like hirta or
brasiliensis.
Anyone have an idea of the species I would love to know.
