1721 - 1829 a clan of Samurai called Higo developed the MG for 8 générations.They lived in the area of the city Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu.

21 different colors.
At that time more than 100 cultivars , the flowers spend from 5 petaloids to 6.
The generality of flowers have a white throat, with a diameter of 4 inches.
A good number of those MG can boast of having relatives with a Higo cultivar .
