A cautionary note to those buying seeds:

I believe one must be educated about the difference between these 2 categories of mutant morning glories (Masaki and Demono). Seeds of Masaki offered at such small amounts (5 seeds) I think is alright, since ALL seeds in theoretical proportion will carry the desired mutant trait. But demonos should be offered atleast 30 plust seeds, according to the theoretical proportion. Even though Demonos can produce single shredded blooms, we must attain for the best attribute/traits. According to the Japanese mg culture, the demonos with the double blooms are the best looking traits that we should attain for. Also some of the mutant lines like the "tsubame" require more seeds to be sown and grown because the probability of getting a demono Tsubame is lower than your usual Shishi demono (Shishi botan demono illustrated by shredded, double blooms, below).

I do not think it's because of ignorance that sellers only give 5 seeds for demono mutant morning glories, but the transfer of culture such as growing plants is of an interesting one because once cultural information is transferred, it is not exactly the same as the original concept...might be similar but not the same. But at the same time, I would like to emphasize the essential concept of how to grow demonos properly and I hope I have not offended anybody with this comment.
