Re: Beautiful Kairaku
Thanks Damien, nice to share. Is the plan for it to be Bonsai 
If so it will have to be large to carry the flower size. Beautiful, thanks.

Re: Beautiful Kairaku
Some day yes Bodhi. At present if I started shaping we would end up with a Mame 
Which may not be so bad if as you said 'the flower size suited'.
This one is a stock plant which I hope to produce trainers from
for ravening Satsuki fans.
Size this one would suit
would be 150mm upwards or as this one is in outline at least, semi cascade.

Re: Beautiful Kairaku
Hey Mr B
Definitely a beauty but not so sure its Kairaku ???? I thought that was a purple sokojiro type flower. tried a quick google but no images came up. I have some kairaku cuttings with buds on, will see how they look when they open. Beautiful flower though!! and healthy looking tree
and yes interesting 'rinpu' leaves.

Re: Beautiful Kairaku/Tsuki no Shimo
Nice one Neil.
Thanks for the poke in the ribs.
That's the last time I trust a nursery label.
After some research
Tsuki no Shimo (frosty moon) it is 
I'm glad that I posted that pic.
Here are some from this morning
