Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Clethra Ruby Spice question, 2 by ViburnumValley

Any chance amongst the informative discussion that any images of the questionable plant behavior will be forthcoming?

'Ruby Spice' is distinct from most clones selected previous to its release. I planted nearly twenty years ago and grew (and am still growing) four different "pink" selections for comparison purposes. Most were pale pink and hard to tell from the white form without a piece of notebook paper behind the flowers.

I haven't trialed newer selections with pink (or allusion thereto) in their names, since no one I know horticulturally has expounded upon any next great thing.

The comments alluding to disappointment in their plant's performance tells me that they don't have 'Ruby Spice' at all, but something masquerading as such.
