Mismark surprise I think

Went to pick up a few mums at Lowes yesterday, and found something really cool. Marked as a Mini - Sweet Sunglow. It had one bloom, with form that looked exactly like the camellia: Nuccio's Pearl (one of my favorite camellias). The pink was right, the leaves do look small, but this one unbelievable bloom was about 3 - 3 1'2" across.

Anyone familiar with Sweet Sunglow? When I looked it up said blooms are about 1 1/2". This beauty is now sitting in my garden, whoever she is.

(Yes, need to find camera!)

Hmmm.... I couldn't even find SWEET SUNGLOW anywhere to see what it looks like. It's not listed on HMF. Sounds pretty tho. NUCCIO'S PEARL is my favorite camellia also! I had it a long time ago, but it died. I found one a few yrs ago, but it wasn't blooming and when it did it wasn't the right one. I haven't been able to find another one since.
