Indeed...just when I say I'm over flowering bonsai. Spring arrives in the UK and I drool at his tree. This year it got a repot and trim. So no flowers. But, I've got his photo in my album. And can't help but think of how pretty it is. The colors are so much more than the white variety I've seen. New England bonsai has the white flowering one in a serpentine trunk. They have another listed that...looks almost like a trident...it's leaf looks nothing of my friend's tree.Pretty rose colored flowers.
Very pretty indeed! Thanks for the link to see them at such close range photography too!I think these are very cool.
This blog has a bunch of them http://mt-satsuki.tumblr.com

I actually tried to buy from Brent,as I have gotten outstanding 1 gallon Pauls Scarlet from him before,several years ago,but he said he has only very limited stock ,if any, that Will only be ready in summer.
Email Brent at Evergreen. He may have something hiding somewhere. I've always wanted one as well. I think Hawthorn may be my favorite species and the flowers are amazing. There is another variety you might look for. Crataegus laevigata "Crimson Cloud"
I was curious,does Forest Farm graft their Hawthorns or were they cuttings?I have both the Paul's Scarlett and the Crimson Cloud that I got from Forest Farms a few years ago. I've been letting them grow out so I can take cuttings for a forest of each. They have both grown well and this spring I will be making at least a dozen of each. I took two cuttings last year, one of each, and both took. Nothing fancy, just cut them off and planted in pumice fines. I'm sure I will have several extra cuttings of each by fall of this year.
I was lucky enough to find a chuchin sized one up on auction last year. You are right, they are super hard to find, I've been looking for several years.
