Change color of points in boxplot by "color" but don't create separate boxes

import plotly as plt
import plotly.express as px
iris = plt.data.iris()
iris.head()
px.box(
    iris,
    x="petal_width",
    y="petal_length",
    color="species",
    points="all")

Is it possible to distinguish the species of each point by color, but have unified boxes for each x value? For example at x=1.5, there are two boxes for versicolor and virginica. I want just one box, but with color-coded individual points.

for _species in iris["species"].unique():
    _data = iris.loc[iris["species"]==_species, :]
    test_fig = test_fig.add_scatter(
        x=_data["petal_width"] - 0.035,
        y=_data["petal_length"],
        mode="markers",
        name=_species
    )
test_fig

Of course this manual adding of traces is possible, but I hope there’s also more straightforward solution.
