Neo season has hit southern Japan. So here's what's interesting at the moment. Maybe a few others coming later on.
Benisuzume - lots of flower stalks, but relatively few flowers.
Large plant of an unknown type - I sometimes forget to label things, thinking I will remember. That works for a few years then it all gets lost in my head.
The large curved leaf Oonamiseikai. This is a pretty form that can form really huge clumps in time. Not so many flowers this year.
A standard classic fukurin type (marginal leaf variegation), Gojyofukurin. This was the first fuukiran I ever bought - a single growth back in 2004.
And now a few with just leaves. First up Rainnohikari, showing the wide range of variegation each growth can have. If you separate out those pure yellow growths they will peter-out within a growing season or two.
The very changeable Nishidemiyako. Note the Manazuru growth on the right, and a tiny new one to the left. Interesting form.
Last is one of my favorites, Kinkujaku, a semi-dwarf bean leaf with golden, bronze leaves. Another big clump former like its relative, Tamakongou.
