WTB: Red (Crimson) Flowering Apricot/ Prunus Mume MEL

Greetings all.

I am searching for a red flowering Apricot (Crimson Prunus Mume).

I have chased it around nurseries to no avail whatsoever, including rare plant nurseries, so I turn now to the bonsai forum on the off chance someone has come across one in their travels, or ideally has one!

I know it’s a very long shot, but I would love to find it

Poyntons had bare rooted grafted ones 2 weeks ago.

They had Fleming’s labels on them.

I know because I bought one.

They were all ugly (in terms of bonsai) and need to be propagated and layered.
