You're right .. looks exactly like that .. Is Yaguruma one of Emmas?

That's a very pretty one Anne. I like the clearly defined spokes of white accented with the triangles of color.
When I made my rounds this morning I came back to this pretty purpurea as it opened. It has quite a large flower for a purp.

Oh I love those little shreds at the bottom!

It used to woofie. Two or three seasons ago it was one Park sold as "Split Second." This year I decided to grow seeds I gathered from those original plants and this is the result. It was variable then so I am interested in seeing other blooms from this generation.
Some of the blooms from the original seeds had no shredding at all and others were highly shredded. This is a photo of what I considered the best of them.

Here's the 2nd one that definitely not Yojiro .. the color is not quite right .. it's a deep purple (darn digital camera). I used the flash on it and tinkered with the color a bit - it helped somewhat .. without the flash it was coming up Royal Blue.

That is so very, very strange .. I don't have a clue as to where these seeds came from .. they were in a packet of Home Grown Youjiro. I was wanting fresh seeds .. here is what I was expecting:

Yes it's a nil .. I got the original seeds about 9 years ago from Becky or maybe it was Gourd and they were labeled Yojiro. The mix through the years have taken on many patterns .. this is aggravating! Here is a picture of 3 plants growing up the post at different angles .. some do look like the Youjiro flower pattern. So if these aren't Youjiro then what are they?

I do see the youjiro flower forms in the latest photos. As I recall, both Gourd and Becky liked to do cross-pollinating so maybe this is one of their creations?

Probably right .. the seeds I planted are F5's of the original batch - how amazing is it that the two seeds I planted (out of a packet with at least 50 seeds in it) just happened to be reversions of different colors!

Oh that is pretty! Almost looks fluorescent.
