beni chidori

Hi all, I'm wondering if someone who is familiar with beni chidori color can tell me if these pictures look consistent with what they have seen. I purchased two small beni chidori maples last summer from a trusted bonsai nursery. This spring, one of them came out with more of a pale...

I'm looking to Buy a Beni Chidori JM, does anyone know where I can find one? I've looked everywhere online and can't find anyone that sells them in the US. I live in Utah so if anyone knows someone who sells them here that would also help.

I have a friend who is making a larger Order from ASIA of 1 year old Beni-Chidori specimens deliverd to the US. I know i asked him for several but didn't know if there was anyone else interested.

If you know where to buy this cultivar please post it in this thread. Doesnt matter if grafted. Not interested in trained trees that cost hundreds of euros.
