Betty,

I think the one on the right may be 'Fireworks' but only time will tell. Mine looks very similar to yours with the new leaves coming on but that isn't the classic look for 'Fireworks'. The other one on the left I have seen labeled as 'Hemsleyana' but that name is also used for U404 on some web sites. Will the real 'Hemsleyana' please stand up?

Here is my mother's 'Hemsleyana' (for the lack of a real name) from last summer. I bought it for her about 3 years ago at a Wal-Mart.
