Al, it's Pinus parviflora 'Tani-mano-uki', the spring buds are pink, open white and turn green. It's supposed to be REALLY pretty in the spring. I have a total of 15 dwarf conifers in that heather bed now. More to come. Here's another pricey one that makes DH (and probably the neighbors) think I'm nuts. kinda unusual growth pattern. bright red cones in the spring

edit: forgot the name Picea abies 'Acrocona'
