Have grown Forest Flame and Mountain Fire and the leaves on this look a bit darker and more leathery for either of those but they're all lovely to have no matter which variety! The new foliage is a real burst of colour in spring. Mine are just flowering now.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Can you tell the difference between Pieris japonica Mountain Fire and Pieris japonica Taiwanensis from one small photo?

There are several Pieris.
Most have green leaves and pendulous small white flowers in spring.
You need an expert in Botany, with an magnifying glass, id key, and the plant infront of them to say for sure which one it is.
Which is why I say Pieris sp and am not even attempting to say which one, as it would be a complete guess.
I grow several Pieris sp and named cultivars.
But would not begin to guess which this one is.
All are beautiful!
Some are easier eg Pieris japonica Little Heath and Pieris japonica Little Heath Green ...as they are dwarf ones with tiny leaves.

Some with red flowers ... you can say that MIGHT be x or y.
But just green leaves and white flower... "No way Jose."
