I'm not sure why a difference is being posted for Shu Ten Nou or Syutenno (Red Emperor) / Shutenno (Red Emperor) in the first entry. My understanding is that all three names are different transliterations into English of the Japanese name for a single variety, written in Kanji as 朱天王 . Different plants of 朱天王 are seen with different flower sizes and slightly different intensities of red/pink because they are coming from different growers who are dealing with different populations of selfings of 朱天王 plants.

I agree with you Raymond, its the same variety.

I do wonder if there is any other differences between shutenno and shojo besides the color intensity? Different colored root-tips?

[huiray]

Shojou has very similarly colored roots to Shutenno, but has slightly more curved leaves (hime-ba) than Shutenno.

Aha, thanks Raymond. Then its a Shutenno I have.
