    Plant labled: Pinus mugo 'Blue'.

    Pinus mugo 'Blue Form': "Semi-dwarf, medium grower, very blue needles." (irregular mound)
    Obrizok ‘A Garden of Conifers – Introduction and Selection Guide’ (1999); Firefly Books Ltd. ISBN: 0913643084

    It's my observation from the photo that the new growth is showing whorls of annual growth in the range of 6" or a little more and because of this I'm concluding upon my own observation that this name discrepancy is 'Blue Form' upon (Obrizok's) notes, his authorship, and his avatar illustration which is idential to the plant photographed.
