219 genes make the difference 2

In the group of blue flowers that color distortion is the most beautiful effet.
That gives a more BLUE.
Looks like the " Blues " value each other.

Genes Bz - 1 .. 2 .. 4 are the genes that make the "blizzard" on the flowers.
There are at least 14 genes that are counted and the Japanese do not melt different categories .
In Japan Blizzard MG = Asagao Shibori - all in the same bag.

I distinguish roughly 3 categories:

1 - Hamaginga type.
2 - Type brushed.
3 - Blizzard (as we use to call some type of flower on DG)

Hamaginga purple

1 - type Hamaginga.
It is a cultivar group very popular with fans.
The head of the list is Blue Hamaginga whose original name was Hama No Ginga (Galaxy Beach) see photo.
These are the cultivars with streaks of color.
Trade names are: Matsukaze, Ukigumo, Tsukiyono, Keiryu, Sieryu, Raiko.

We can multiply the categories so the flower patterns are different.
Example dark streaks on the bottom clearer.

Ukigumo

Or this one, Brown Streaks.

This grey streaked - Black Dove.

With a darker background.

What beautiful flowers Dany. Divine New World, breathtaking to say the least.
I love all of them.

Dany - They are all beautiful! As I have said before ... "I've never met an MG that I didn't like!"

This one: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7661350 is really beautiful! What is the name?

Becky, The NAME ..... I don't know !
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1084621/

Other commercial names with red streaks flower.
Miko no Mai, Ushio.
What is the difference btw those two ? we have no reference list so noboddy know !

Here is a bloom that I use to call Miko no Mai but I 'm not sure.

This one with colors a bit forced, Miko no Mai certainty?

Few varieties are light pink and white.

Or this one ( NOID ) with darker shades of red.

Asagiri Pink Shibori.

Asahi, Rising Sun .

2 ~ Type brushed :It is between streaked and blizzard.

Like Q 1083 from KU list.

This one looks like nobody else.
Q 0269

Or this one , when we see it in real life?
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2009/01/31/dany12/e8c46e.jpg

Q 0269 variant.

Small bloom but so beautiful!
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2009/01/31/dany12/c9b8eb.jpg

It comes in gray too!

And in Blue.

Here another nice color combination.

Or this.

The striated pattern on those blooms is really stunning! Definitely makes some unusual looking blooms. I wonder how many genes cause the striation? I am growing an MG right now that came from a Mother vine that had a really unique blue striated pattern with white border on the rim of the blooms. I hope this F1 shows the same unique characteristics.

Amazing what MGs can produce!!! Just another reason I enjoy them so much!

Beautiful eye candy Dany.

3 - Blizzard :
In the trade names were Hama no Fubuki for the red and Keiryu (Mountain Stream) for blue.
Three companies produce Sazanami and have three different types of flowers. In 2009 Becky had a very nice strain.

Dark Blue Blizzard.

A other very nice blue.

Brown.

Red. Oups ! dark pink.

There are many modern varieties that mix Blizzard and striated pattern as here Dawn at Dance

Cultivars such as Mauve Splash have all the patterns that you can imagine.

Or this Hama no Ginga Blue Blizzard.

Beautiful eye candy! This one here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7676177 is stunning! What is it???

I can not resist posting one last photo of this " Blizzard " cultivar.
Incredible!

The genes that start with SP ... are the genes that make the dotted give Speckled cultivars.
The best known is Fujishibori - Q 1218 - called Fai 55 by the Japanese (so romantic LOL)

Prepared for the competition, it remains an unforgettable memory.

There is also the clear version.

In total there are 23 genes that give all different types of Speckled Strains.
Here First Frost :

A variant of First Frost on an exhibition. No place for the leaves!

An other Speckled : Winter Galaxy.
