Does anyone know what this plant is called?

It was very small when I planted it around April time but it's gone berserk!

It looks very much like Cheilanthes Covillei or Covilles Lip Fern to use its common name to me San.

I was looking but had no idea what it was?
Did it not come in a pot to say what it was?
I couldn't tell if it had flowers or variations of foliage?

It did come in a pot Jo and it did say what it was but I must have thrown the label away :roll:
I usually remember the names of plants but I can't think!
it does have variations of foliage and lots of very tight buds which I think will flower, maybe pink
