Hakumin,
Its certainly possible what you say about the spur length. Pictures I have seen of Benikanzashi show much longer spurs.
About double spurred and triple spurred varieties. I read on several sites, including Seed Engei, that the first blooms on jong plants could be normal flowers. Could this be the case, becouse the plants are not yet strong enough?
The thing with NWO is probably that Kristen is fairly new to all of this as she promptly took over from Glen.
In my search for different varieties I came and come across many things and it is sometimes very difficult to figure out what is correct and what is not. I'm sure I'm making a lot of mistakes. and then there is an other huge problem. Some use Japanese names, some Korean, which does not make it much easier. I think we all try to do our best to do the right thing and have to help each other where we can. We do not have enough knowledge of Japanese, certainly I don't. And to keep track of all these changes is hard because for us its not a way of life. I don't even think we can join the Japanese Fuukiran Society and if we could, we certainly could not read their correspondence because of the language barrier. I'm shore if we contact Kristen, she would check it out and set things right. On her site there are more things that are not correct but if you mail her she will correct it if necessary.
I know we are all (including me) freaky when it comes to our hobby. So why don't we just help each other.
