Here's the Beni fushigi. Not the greatest picture, but this is, after all, Belmont. Anyone who's been here in the afternoon knows why the locals call it "Blowmont". Just a tad bit of wind to make amateur photography even that much more difficult.

Suzette - another you may want to look into is Shaina. Nice, tight and bushy. Good deep red foliage but the added bonus of bright red new growth throughout most of the season and especially showy in late July-August when all the secondary growth appears. Quite a show! Fall colors light this one up. And slow growing, upright and not too wide.

Have my camera, have my cable (together, no less) I'll post some pics when I get in tomorrow...
