Clement expressed some doubt that this cultivar was Abies koreana and after examining it myself I have doubts as well. Some photos:
I can confirm it is the 'right plant' though perhaps mislabeled at some point as nordmanniana. I'll leave any definitive opinions to those in the know.
I could use some help on others, if you have time also:
Picea mariana 'Nana'?? Any of these different plants??

Picea meyeri? Will I know only when I get cones?
Picea omorika ...? Was unlabeled at a farmer's nursery. Guessing 'Pimoko' but I'd love to hear a guess or a confirmation.
Abies alba 'Aurea'? Bought as Abies cephalonica.
Pinus parviflora 'Shikoku(bought as 'Shikoku-Goyo'). Clearly different then Clement's plant in this year's gallery with no variegation..
*and* I have this description from Don Howse when I bought the plant:
""Pinus parviflora 'Shikoku- goyo'- The name "Goyo" means "White Pine" in Japanese. So when it is added to the cultivar name we are being redundant, saying both Pinus parviflora, and also 'Goyo'. Shikoku' is an island name in Japan, so I suppose this is a cultivar selected on that island. It seems popular with bonsai enthusiasts as it forms rough bark. It has bluish-green short needles, and is an upright growing small tree with an irregular habit. ""
Bought as (Abies chinsiensis 'Prostrata Glauca'), which is clearly is not. Even a vague clue what species it is?? Any guesses or hints? Purple male pollen cones.
Finally, Picea breweriana 'Wustemeyer'? Had tags swapped last Spring. Think I finally got this one.
Thanks you guys! I'd be lost without your help.
