| Shunrai
Hi Lynne,
Don't be impressed by my knoweldge of Dutch, the reason that I know anything about this variety is that a UK Dealer bought them into this country a few years ago and he's only a couple of miles from me.
The Shunrai, (trans = Spring Thunder) were developed by Miyatora and were described as Sumi-Goromo-Goshiki. The specimens I saw (Photo) were too small to see any detail but all I could deduce was that they were Sumi Goromo with reticulation in the white.
When the ones bought into the UK grew to 15 inches or so they were very disappointing and messy. Therefore they haven't caught on over here.
