That is a fantastic plant. The ones in the background are excellent too. I really love that one that looks like an exterme fukuryu with flower buds forming between the ribs. Just great. As good as it gets. Thanks for posting them.

Does anyone else grow fukuryu variety in Aus. I think I saw Hanazono post a couple of pics but I wanna get some seed.
Btw Carlo and Daniele, I've never wet my pants while hyperventilating at the same time before. Thanks for that experience.

KanJe My photo was myriostigma f fukuryu. The photo attached by Carlo & Daniele is a fukuryu banjaku, I think. The base is an ornatum f Hakujyo crossed by a myriostigma, both of plants are fukuryu forms. Hanazono

Yes it is a fukuryu banjyaku. We pollinated it with a fukuryu haku-jo and a myriostigma. We chose the myriostigma for trying to obtain stronger seedlings.
