This should have been the first picture and is 'Tenginbai' not the one with the caption which is an un-named seedling

I seem to be liking the stronger colours this year  ??? Perhaps because the winter seems long, if not so very harsh..... Michael's first deep red is lovely and John G's  No. 043 is so simple yet so striking a shade. Lovely!

Fine Chris - now the photos (yours and mine) shows 'Saishou' in three different stages, from unfold to fall.

What lovely plants and colours Michael and John.

I'l like to show you the changing of my 'Kagura'.
Photo no. 2 shows it the year after dividing, where it has changed to a single flower with stamens and pistils.
It says that this is the autonomous conservation activities in the nature.
I will try to pollinate it with another with similar genes, and se what comes out.
I hope and belive that it next year will change back and be as photo no. 1.

Gunhild,

Good luck with the seedlings.  Here's hoping you can get some new doubles there.  Keep your fingers crossed!!!!  Hopefully in a couple of years we can congratulate you on your new double seedlings.
Cheers.

Gunhild, I cross the H.'Kagura' with H.Imaizumi' and with a picotee form, in tree or four years I hope to show the results.
here some other plants, the flower of H.'Hohobeni' is verry small only 1cm across.

Nice pics.Chris.I ordered Hohobeni two years ago from Paul Christian but it didn't materialise.However,I did manage to obtain the double form which is nothing like the single.I thought the single would be bigger than 1 cm.
