This thread is for known cultivars, not unknowns.
Please reread the first post, and suggest you start a new thread, thanks.

Maybe the title can be changed, because it reads as if this is where identification happens.

'Kisshoten'
I rate is highly. One of the best white and red mix azaleas. The red stripes range from very small dots to entire flowers. The red is quite dark and not pinkish or blueish. The blotch is reasonable prominent. Flower shape is medium, a bit larger than Kozan, and the flower could be called an 'elegant flower shape' aka korinzaki.
Leaves are not small but normal in size. 'Kisshoten' has been used a lot in recent crosses by the Japanese, creating a whole new generation of satsuki.
Also this year just a think trunk only partially leafed out won the no.1 award for best flowering satsuki:

I suppose it's how one perceives the thread title, but if they read the first post it's clearly written. I don't think it's to hard to notice the trend if they looked throughout the thread with every flower picture having a name to it.

How does one get Kisshoten? In the states.

Probably import it from Japan. Not sure if it is available in the US at all.

Haven’t seen it yet… and I looked extensively. Maybe it will show up this year.

It might be a mistake to try identifying your azalea on the basis of its first blossom. One of the great attractions of Satsuki is their ability to throw solid dark [usually salmon, pink, red or lavender], solid white, and a mix of both colors on the same tree at the same time. Wait for a few more to open before rushing to a conclusion.

Nice! Did this come from Nuccio's?

Nice Juko. This is kind of serendipitous, as today we just deflowered and debudded a big Juko!
Here’s couple other color variations that weren’t open on your bonsai yet.

Yes sir. One they suggested for bonsai people, although they think we are strange.

Taiho “2”. 2-3” flower. There are two Taiho’s listed in the Satsuki dictionary, this is the second one.
There are more variations. This one is a slow grower and needs consistent fertilization.

'Yumedono'
Very new cultivar, Grandparent 'Kisshoten' won best new cultivar in 2001. Parent 'Yukito' won in 2009. It also has 'Kakuo' as a great-grandparent.
The other parent is 'Kirameki': https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/azalea-picture-identification-thread.50098/post-966437
The flowers are slightly smaller than 'Kisshoten' but it has the potential for a richer textured flower, which I was not aware of based on the dictionary picture. You won't find any pictures of this one online anywhere either, it's that new.
