It is a very pretty cultivar when in full show. It is red and pink variegated all over. The edges stay pink but the interior will turn olive by late summer. Can get ugly here in the summer but apparently better up north. Variegated maples are pretty much never used for bonsai but could make a conversation piece. It is not like butterfly. Butterfly is normally just green/white variegation. I have one called Karasugawa that has green, pink, and white. It is a weird name.
