Colouring of Satusuki Petals, etc.

Hello and thank you, John, for the information about Satsuki. Excellent!

I was looking for the name of the pattern on my plant's petals and came across this "Glossary of Terms". Perhaps you already know of it.

My plant has petals with a fine spray of specks radiating from the centre of each one.

The seller dosn't know what variety it is. A neighbour had plants damaged and uprooted in the gales of a few years back and was asked if he would let the seller collect the damaged ones: the little plant originated from them.

Hi Penny,

Unfortunately there are so many hybrid satsukis these days that to idntify you variety accurately would be nearly impossible. However, I do have a hybrid manual that has photos of many satsukis. I'll look through it to see what ones approximate your flowers. No guarantees of them being correct though! Sad

Thanks very much, Dick. The flowers are such a lovely deep salmon colour. As you say, they could be hybrid. Look forward to whatever information you can dig up. Smile
