Big grin. . .O'kay now we're ready to post photos and document the colored varieties . . .ur, and did I mention SHOP in a more organized fashion.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Wow, Gweniran. You've been BUSY today:shock:

Well done, Gwen! What a great addition to the new Neo forum. Thanks for your hard work.

:)

I'm not sure why a difference is being posted for Shu Ten Nou or Syutenno (Red Emperor) / Shutenno (Red Emperor) in the first entry. My understanding is that all three names are different transliterations into English of the Japanese name for a single variety, written in Kanji as 朱天王 . Different plants of 朱天王 are seen with different flower sizes and slightly different intensities of red/pink because they are coming from different growers who are dealing with different populations of selfings of 朱天王 plants.

Raymond.

I agree with you Raymond, its the same variety.

I do wonder if there is any other differences between shutenno and shojo besides the color intensity? Different colored root-tips?

Shojou has very similarly colored roots to Shutenno, but has slightly more curved leaves (hime-ba) than Shutenno.

Raymond.

Aha, thanks Raymond. :) Then its a Shutenno I have.
