Is it possible to find this Canadian beauty on this side of the Atlantic?

You can use Google, set it to search images, and search for any of a number of name versions; Dendranthema arcticum 'Chimo Red', Chrysanthemum arcticum 'Red Chimo', Chrysanthemum arcticum 'Chimo Red', Arctanthemum arcticum 'Red Chimo', etc.  Didn't find a plain 'Chimo'; seems to be 'Chimo Red' or 'Red Chimo'.  Take your pick of names.  John, what names among these have you heard about?

Indeed Mark it is Red Chimo.
Here on the European continent C.arcticum roseum is available but it is not a good form:very pale"dirty" pink.
The form grown at the B.G. of Montreal is much better(shown on the photo album of the qargs).I 'd already be very happy with seed of that one!But Red Chimo is even darker.
