The Hamamelis mollis 'Superba' (listed at above link) is correctly H. 'Rochester', a hybrid between H. mollis and H. vernalis producing early, coppery orange flowers with an exceptional fragrance.

 

I helped load that out to a colleague at the end of the auction, I will let him know the next time I see him. He was one of the top three buyers, insisting I help load his truck, he bet me $5 I couldn't fit it all in, I am $5 richer ;) I told him that I learned at an early stage in my career that if the customer wanted to buy something at the nursery we would find a way to load it into / onto their vehicle.
