Japanese MG .. need a correct spelling please.

I'm finally going through all my seeds and creating a catalogue. I have a packet that says:

Hannahabuki Japanese Morning Glory.

Does anyone recognise this name and the correct way to spell it? Can't find it on any search.

Thanks!

although the spelling varies and so does the bloom coloration depending on what company the seeds originated from e.g., Sakata has a Hama no Fubuki as part of their Spring series that does not look the same as the Takii or Yamato product...

Ahhh, I always learn something new on this forum! We hosted an exchange student from Japan a few years ago - but she only wanted to talk English...LOL! Very pleasant and respectful and did incredible origami gifts for the family before she left!
Thanks for sharing more of your extensive knowledge Ron :)
