I have never seen that variety outside other than the one whip I have of it. It is extremely slow growing! Sad

In the western azalea trade there is a variaty of R.indicum named 'Balsaminiflorum' that is either the same under a different name or very similar.

There is also 'Kikuhime'.

I think these are selections from the wild, but I still wonder how many seeds nature had to grow before one was grown with so many consistent rose-shape filled flowers. Often when stamen 'mutate' into petals it is very imperfect.

Here's what I know, maybe Glaucus can add to it...

I was with a couple of friends at the Satsuki Festival in Kanuma in the mid 80's. These were bonsai guys, NOT satsuki guys. There was a beautiful komane on display, but I didn't know the name of the variety. I asked my friend the name of the satsuki and he said that he couldn't read the Kanji on the name plate. I was surprised and asked him to explain. He said the Kanji was archaic, maybe a satsuki person would know it but he did not. I found a satsuki friend and SHE confirmed that it was komane, explaining that it was a very old variety of satsuki.

The kanji of 'Komane' is 紅万重. None of those are archaic. In fact, they are all 3 very common kanji.

'Kikuhime' is 菊姫 where 'kiku' 菊 means chrysanthemum and 'hime' 姫 means princess. There are several historical princesses with that name.

I have seen satsuki that have kanji that are no longer in use in the Japanese language. This also happens with the names of people.

Maybe the person didn't know how to pronounce the kanji. 'Komane' means 'tenthousand red petals'. or 'tenthousand red folds'.

I don't know what exectly your question was, but it does seem odd as the kanji are all among the most basic of kanji. If anything the person didn't know 紅 because it is crimson red rather than the plain common kanji for red 赤 that I don't see being used to describe flower colours. The other two are among the 200 most commonly used of the 2500 or so common 'newspaper' kanji. 紅 beni crimson is in the 1500-2000 category, but it is common for plants and flowers.

Still, it isn't obvious how to read 'Komane' as it isn't a word but just 3 kanji added together. It could have been 'Benimane' or 'Kobane' or maybe even 'komanjuu' . I think that is the issue.

Maybe so. I often heard Hakata jiro called Hakata haku.

OK, I was told the same for Gumpo (a flock of phoenix). No one ever seemed to be able to read that kanji either. Any thoughts?

Shiro, jiro, haku, byaku, all readings of 白 white.

Well 'Gunpo' is 群鳳. where '群' means flock and isn't that odd a kanji but 鳳 refers to a somewhat obscure Chinese mythical creature, a firebird. The kanji refers to only that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang
The common kanji for bird 鳥 is part of 鳳, but the reading of the kanji again isn't obvious.

The readings of many names in Japan aren't obvious. You need to know the kanji and how to pronounce it in many cases. Many names have the same pronunciation, but different kanji. Or the same kanji but different pronunciation. This is even the case with some common names. Cultivar names are no different.


This site is what I use often to figure out the kanji.

Thanks for that.

I worked for and studied bonsai with this company when it was Gekkan Satsuki Kenkyusha and run by Kenko Rokkaku. That was in the 80's before the bubble burst.

Hello ! Smile

Here is the address of an extraordinary site for satsuki
http://bonsaispecials.nl/


It would seem that Komane and Kikuhime are two different varieties.
http://bonsaispecials.nl/Kikuhime.html

http://bonsaispecials.nl/Komane.html

And for ' Balsaminiflorum '???
