Last March I posted a very nice photo on a sport of Shimai. This is the link to that post. The above and below photographs are an update that comes from Elizabeth Shaffer. Now the sport has produced suckers. (below)
It will be most interesting to see if in fact the suckers of this sport demonstrate the same bloom as above. I suspect it will.
When three generations have demonstrated that the same flower and plant characteristics are consistently maintained (stable) it can be registered with AVSA as a new chimera. I wonder what Elizabeth will name it?
