New Hinomaru stock to work on in the coming years.

Could you post a close up of the flower. This thread is geared more toward actual flowers pics to help with identification, verse trees or nebari. Post #211 also has a Hinomaru shown, however the throats on your flowers seem darker and extend midway on the petal.

Your tree has very nice flowers. I'm assuming you picked this one up from Rick?

Oops. Sorry. Here's a close up of the flowers. Yes, got it from Rick

Gunrei

…this is the last of mine to flower.

This is the whitest Gunrei I’ve seen. Most other images I’ve seen have much more pink in them.

Interesting how the blotches on your flowers are larger and darker. If you ever make any cuttings I'd be interested in getting one.

Rick is a really nice guy. I talked to him for a bit when I was at the PBA spring show.....showed him one of my mame pots. I was talking to Jim Doyle and noticed a guy that was talking to Rick for a while that may have been you?

I was wrong! I actually found a Kakuo while rooting around a couple trays of cultivars.

Kakuo in back and a plum R. Kiusianum In front. Both from Julian Adams this spring.

'Chihiro'


Finally a flower with colour.
Notice the brown stop on the top left petal. This one is going to go bad because of petal blight too.
Also notice the black spots on the leaves. These were in the polytunnel. I sprayed them with funcigide to fight the petal blight.
Not sure what exactly is causing those black spots. They are all over many plants in the polytunnel. So I took them out.
Thinking about getting a different type of fungicide and spraying these plants once more.

 

[KiwiPlantGuy]

Hi,
It looks to me like a phytotoxic problem, although not seen this before. Did you combine this fungicide with anything else, like an oil based chem (insecticide), or another fungicide? Otherwise an interesting thing to watch and others may help more.

[Glaucus]

Yes, I did. Leaves were sprayed with both fungicide and oil-based insecticide inside a polytunnel.
But we can discuss in another thread.

'Koharu'


A red and white with small flowers. Not super-interesting, though. Seems it does not do small stripes. Only larger red sectors.
Blotch is weak. I think 'Kisshoten' is way superior flower-wise.

"Amaghasa" This one has Big flowers

"Getsutoku" Big Flowers on this one

 

[Glaucus]

Good to see some new HD pictures of 'Gettoku'. Also interesting that that one flower is pink, but only one part of the blotch is darker.
Talking about large flowers,

'Seiten'



Maybe it is like a less wavy triplod version of 'Gettoku'.

Issho no Haru.

Lovely hint of pink. Hoping the other color variations show this bloom.
It’s flower is 2-2.5”. So it’s got some growing to do to get it in the right size container.
This satsuki was taken out of the ground this year. Next job prune and wire after the bloom is complete.

My Issho no haru just finished blooming. All the flowers were a very deep pink. Perhaps I will have more of a mix next year. It is hardy to about ), so I am planting one in the landscape.

Issho no Haru produces and number of color variations. I’m not sure which is dormant the Red, or the jial Red or both. Thinking both.

Perhaps @Glaucus can sort this question out.

I think the Issho no Haru was in the ground for three summers. It did well over winter, yet it was inside the portable cold frame each year. The only thing that would of helped would be if I would of lifted it out of the ground each year and rotated it. That would of evened out the foliage some as the backside got less sun.

Sounds like you have a bad sport. See my Haru no Sono post https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/azalea-picture-identification-thread.50098/page-15#post-967058
Basically the same azalea.

It goes from DSD's very pale violet to a mix of colours like in that picture, to a blotch dominated flower, to a darker violet.\
Haru no Sono is supposedly a two colour sport, with both violet and carmine red.
I call mine Haru no Sono because it was sold as such and because I am not sure if the colour is the same or different from Issho no Haru. But I have never seen the two colours. Only just one in different shades.

The Czech's tell me it is hardy to -24C in their quite dry kinda continental climate. So besides being very beautiful, it is also quite hardy.

If you are interested I likely have a couple 2nd year cuttings of mine. PM me.
