Hello fellow crazed gardeners! I received this plant in trade labeled 'spiny form'. It's bigger than 'Spine Tingler' and the new foliage is red like Sandy Claws, but the flowers are airy and pale yellow/cream flowers. Can anyone "Name That Epimedium?!?" (Am I dating myself?)

My SIL in OR has one like that, but she doesn't know the name. The closest I was able to recon it was Epimedium wushanense. Very cool.

I have one called Epimedium Spine Tingler.
Looks like it might be a match.
A very strong vigorous Epimedium...evergreen.
Never have to remove old leaves as on some other Epimediums.
Survives the Scottish. UK, winters.
My pics are 5 years old..will take new pics.

Thank you all for the replies. I guess it's most likely 'Spine Tingler' though I thought that stayed smaller than this (8-10") and was not as red. But I think that's the closest we're going to get.
Thanks!

Silver surfer,
Great pictures, thank you! I was under the impression that ST was overall smaller and the flowers were creamier than yellow. But I'm pretty sure what you have and what I have are the same. Thanks so much!
