Not a problem, Bob ;-)
The sheds and multiple GCs increasingly are selling only those things that are in flower at the time of sale, so the customer can see for themselves exactly what they're getting.
One of my best buys was a "red maple" from Morrisons supermarket for about £1.50 - it is now about 8ft tall with deep red brown foliage - very attractive, and ready to take over from the old flowering cherry behind it which is coming to the end of its life.
