H martinezii is still blooming heavily.

This one is blooming again and I think closer to when it should really be blooming.
Habranthus tubispathus var. roseus
This species was first identified by Traub in 1970 and is native to Uruguay. It has coppery-pink buds which open nocturnally to a creamy white; but quickly change to pinkish, flushed deep rose on the outside. A very unusual Habranthus species! Recommended for zones 8-10; but probably would do OK in 7b too.
