unknown satsuki

Thanks Brian, I'd been clicking thru Satsukimania, but didn't get terribly far. I'll look at these. It's not really important, but I'm OCD about keeping track lol...

Just looked at those 3 and the color is more salmon than those. The search goes on!
The worst part of searching satsukimania is wanting all those really cool colors...

sometimes the light and white balance in pics make for a different appearance of colors.

Color wise, the self's (single color flowers) look like 'Kakuo' in color and shape. But Judy's has more color variations than what the 'Kakuo' images indicate.

Shape wise and variation wise 'Juko' is a fit but the color intensity is off, I suspect that the photos the color is heightened. So 'Juko' is a possibility.

'Kisei' is a possibility.

'Kunshi' is another possibility.

I quit at the first of the ''M's'' you will have to page through from there. Beautiful flowers Judy.

Some new photos, just about at peak now. I'm finding that my Kegon has reverted this year, and the flower color is close if not the same. So it must be something in that line. The last two photos are of the Kegon.

Judy, I bet you are right, it might be a reversion to the progenitor form of Kegon. Kegon is a bud mutation of another azalea. I got to dig out Callahan's book, it is probably listed.

 

[JudyB]

Yeah it's pretty much a perfect match to the one branch that has reverted on the Kegon. Thanks Leo.

Here are some pictures of this tree in bloom this year. I really think that this tree is a Kegon, with some reversion. Whatever it is I actually like the color combination so don't think I'll work on getting it all to the Kegon side. If it happens that those branches need to go for styling, then I would take it back to all the orange blooms.

I know, right?

So I thought this was a thread for this satsuki of mine that I'm not sure what variety it is, but I see it's about the Kegon that @jimib has now. Here is a shot of the one that I don't know what it is, but is sure is stunning in flower.

I see it made into the house for display! It hard to tell from the pic how big that thing is. Beautiful flowers

Wow, it is stunning.

 

[JudyB]

Wow, it is stunning.

it is. not great without blooms, the leaf size is large, reminds me more of a nursery azalea, but it does redeem itself for a couple weeks a year! Thanks Carol, hope you are having a good spring.

Not the original tree posted in the beginning of the thread, but an update on the second unknown Satsuki. Flowering well, new pot and structure is getting better. Will cutback again and rebuild more this year.

This tree is developing fairly well, it always wants to put out loooong shoots when I'm not watching. Here it is today.
