Here is a view of another flower of Q751 showing the deep green variegated leaves.

That's a beautiful JMG.
I recently ordered (Dark Pink Shibori-Stripes-Specs,Kikyo Star Shape) from Onalee Seeds that looks like that one and both have the name Kikyo.
I'll be growing it next year.

Joseph that is nice...I could never get any to do well for me. I am growing two speckled ones I will post pics if I get flowers.

That is so cool looking. I haven't seen any speckled varieties before. It has the same shape as the Kikyo Sky Blue.

This one is so unique. Love the red and white.
Joseph, you are making me drool.

Joseph another wowzer.. Speckles are neat...

I have noticed this one stays open longer in the afternoon than the other JMGs.

Joseph,
This strain with the name Kikyo Ten Ten is not the same strain you got from the University. It is a different strain and has much larger leaves than yours, the leaves on your strain are about 1 inch in size and very slow grower, very small. The other strain Kikyo Ten Ten is a very healthy plant, leaves are about 4 to 5 inches long and wider than the narrow ones of your strain. I too got my seeds from Japan.

I will keep using the name as it was given by someone else not necessarily anything to do with you or the strain you have. I'm sure you and I don't have a right to change the names when we receive them just because we think we are doing the right thing. We must not change anything we receive from Japan that we did not create or cross. Unless you happen to have a degree in that field, we are not experts enough to do so.

I'm sorry you think that anyone is trying to detract or take away anything from your flower. I assure you that is not the case, but credit is due where it belongs.

Hi wasabi

Come visit my Flickr too.

Here is a link that might be useful: click here to go to my Flickr

I don't believe Joseph is changing the name just calling it by it's correct name.

Ditto Ronnie

The person who changed the name was Derek/MGJapan on eBay, so he could get around the ban of selling the Q-number strains of asagao.

I agree with both of you, ronnie and emmagrace2

Fran

Dear Wasabi,

Thank you for very nice compliments! I must be who you are referring to - please give my regards to Dr. Nitasaka for me.

Joseph

Here is a picture of me with Dr. Eiji Nitasaka when I visited him the first time when I was in Japan.

Joseph

wasabi_2009, I would enjoy trading seeds with you. Do you have Q751? If not I can send to you. Here is a blue speckled reverse tube asagao I enjoyed growing which I can also send in a trade. Of course, if others would like to trade, they are available to you.

Joseph

Here is another flower from that same strain for you to see, wasabi_2009.

Joseph I love that one. I grew it last year and have some wonderful pics...I am growing it again this year but all the flowers are ugly and very distorted and sickly looking. Not worth showing. Such a shame...it was a great bloomer for me last time.

I wonder what happened with it, Ronnie? It was a challenging year to grow these vines with all the cold nights we had early on in the summer.

I really think it was the weather, cool and wet now cool again...One of my major problems this year was small plants. Almost all of them are in pots and they never dried, I only had to water them to feed them. I did see a few tubes too though. I am hoping for a few seeds at least to try them again next year.
