Hey Joseph!

Your Q0426 plant is looking good! As the leaves are only cupped and not dragonclawed, this plant will not have the feathered flowers. It looks to be cordate leaved, so would not carry the feathered gene either. Seed from this plant will not perpetuate the Q0426 line. If it had tri-lobed leaves, then it would be carrying the feathered gene and could perpetuate the line. It probably will have intense blue single flowers as none of my cordate leaved plants were ever duplicate flowered. They are pretty flowers none the less.!!

Your plant here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/p.php?pid=3545716 , is showing interesting characteristics! The specks of darker color on the hypocotyl indicate that it should have speckled flowers - purple specks indicated by "Murasaki". The part of the name, "Ki", indicate yellow leaves, and the "daizaki" means cup flowered - so it has the crepe gene causing the cup flower. I don't know what the rest of the name indicates other than the "Chirimenba" describes the leaves ("ba"=leaf), and the "Shiroji Murasaki Fukkake Shibori " describes the purple speckled flower....

The plant here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/p.php?pid=3545727 , is obviously a mutant of some kind ..maybe a miniature or could it be fasciated? The word "rinpunba" is the "forest wind leaf" caused by the dominant Blown (B) gene. This leaf has a wide attachment to the petiole, and it also gets wavey and distorted a bit, making it look like its quaking and shimmering like an aspen leaf in the wind..... If you look closely at your second plant here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/p.php?pid=3545736 , you can see characteristics of this Blown leaf starting to develop. This more normal looking plant may be the carier for the mutations shown in the first rinpunba plant. The rest of the name indicates a purple cup flower! Cool plants...definitely save any and all seed!

My Q0751 plant from your seed is now setting buds....I just hope I'm home when it first blooms!

Here is a Heian Umi flower from this morning...
