Well, since this thread has been revived, may I request an updated pic of sweet little Clara Jean? Well, if you feel comfortable posting a pic of her that is. Completely understand if you don't.

I have 'J. Otto Thilow' the shrub (love it, love it, love it -- bullet-proof plant and blooms, blooms all the time) and the blooms do look like the ones on the SCU fence climber, sheba.

IMO you never buy slabs if you can’t see the actual slab going into your space .BTW IMO quartz is the worst counter in a kitchen I have no idea why people have moved to that material when there are so many beautiful real stones .
