About 5 years ago, KIBANA KUNSHIRAN was very rare and expensive and the flowering plant was about Yen100000. It has gone down to Yen10000 and have become easily obtainable in ordinary nurseries. Propagation used to depend on root-dividing, but nowadays growing from seeds has become possible and therefore they have started to be wide-spread in the market. Many new species such as "stripe" "compact" are being produced. Long established species are: Smithers Yellow, Cold well, Gordon Yellow, Moon Light, CHIBA Yellow ......... species improved by NAKAMURA............... I would like to introduce as many species as possible here. However, please bear in mind that It can be difficult to distinguish one species from the other and there are quite a few "imitation" in the market. So the names of the flowers in this page are according to the "tag" given when bought.
