Congratulations ! hand claps......... Will send you JMG sample seeds.

I`ll be in the USA next month with 3 Japanese acquaintances. They all have never been to the USA before so it should be fun. One plan is to go deep sea fishing in Galveston Island and also near the Texas City dikes. Yeah these guys are fishermen. I won`t be returning to Japan right away afterwards as I have lots of family business to take care of while I`m stateside.

This has all been fun but it`s time for me to focus on something different. My JMG journey has been very rewarding and it`s time to move on. Oh and thanks for your ebay support. I`ll share some of the seeds we collect this year with our friends before selling the operation. (Web site, pictures seeds, ect..) It`s time to get my music out there. One of my songs is called Asagao. TTYL

PS, I will continue to post some JMG pictures we`ve taken this year and some MG festival ones too.

Oh my goodness.. we just got used to you too.. where are you all going and I didn't know you all made music.. what type? Thank you for the awards too..

Well, be sure to post pictures of your flowers and good luck with your new business endeavors..

Here's The Count to say hello, this Picotee is from your Picotee Mix from this morning.

Please be sure to post those blooms from all the babies you planted. We are all waiting to see what they produce. I especially like the "ribbon" mutants!

Thanks so much! How nice of all of you. I hope you will continue to contribute here when you can.

Congrats and applause to all the winners.

I have some mutant plants growing and hope more people like Atenkley who are familiar with the systems and how to breed them will be able to contribute in the future. I believe increased knowledge will help increase the popularity of the JMG in America. It is a very enjoyable and fulfilling hobby I must say.

Karen

What a very nice thing to do! Thank you all very much. I think it is great that you give such recognition to the mutant MGs. After all, it is the plants and flowers who are the winners!

Congratulations to the other winners, too!

Thanks again - Arlan

Thank You Paul

What a nice gesture!! Thanks for thinking of us. I hope this doesn't mean we won't here from you, looking forward to seeing all your pictures. Enjoy your time in the States again, it's a good place to be!!

Hey Guys, you are all welcome and it's been a fun ride but it's time for me to change directions. If you've never experienced living abroad you may not understand but it's important to be versatile or you won't be able to hang. I'm bless to be born out of a musical family and it's time I test the waters. There are lots of people back home who are waiting for this move. More about this later.

We still have many pictures that needs editing and as I do that I'll post pictures. Don't expect to see me selling or trading JMG seeds in the future. Like they say been there and done that.

Karen I think Arlan have a very good understanding about the mutants and their system and some people here in Japan would agree. You pretty much have mastered crossing and like Emma would say Ron is a walking encyclopedia. I think collectively you guys are OK. There are others who will contribute so there no shortage there. Yeah, a nice group of minds and intellectual power.

Ronnie & Gourd, I always look forward to going home. Although I've been living here for 20 years, I still miss home and get excited when I visit. Not sure how long I'll be in USA from August 2007 but I'll check out MG forum when I have time.

I'll contact you guys when the seeds are ready to ship. TTYL.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL JMG BLOOMS. I do hope you will share them with us.
Good luck with your future travels.
