Kurashi-no-Botanical Garden Special Program "Traditional Morning Glories

About 700 pots of about 100 strains of "variant morning glories" with unusual flower and leaf shapes that do not look like morning glories, which have been produced since the Edo period, are on display.
Morning glories have been enjoyed by many people since ancient times. Especially since the Edo period (1603-1867), morning glories have experienced repeated booms, including the Bunka ・ Bunsei period, the Kaei ・ Ansei period, and the Meiji ・ Taisho period, resulting in the creation of morning glories with flowers and leaves of various shapes that do not look like morning glories, known as variant morning glories. In particular, although morning glories are annuals, they are unique worldwide in that they have maintained their non-seeding varieties by seed, and by the Kaei ・ Ansei period at the end of the Edo period, it seems that an extremely large number of varieties had been produced.
However, after the Taisho period (1912-1926), while the cultivation of large-flowered morning glories, which are still widely grown today, flourished, the number of morning glory enthusiasts gradually declined, and after World War II, the varieties were only maintained by a few enthusiasts. Fortunately, many of the variants of the variant morning glories that originated in the Edo period have been maintained to this day through the efforts of enthusiasts and researchers. Therefore, since 1999, the garden has exhibited these morning glories as a historical resource in order to promote awareness of traditional morning glories created with creative knowledge and techniques since the Edo period, and to see the relationship between people and plants.

This year, under the theme of "Sequel ・ Changing Morning Glories as Seen by Foreigners," we will exhibit panels on the changing morning glories introduced abroad during the Meiji period by Eliza ・ Sidmore, Umeko Tsuda and her father, Sen Tsuda, as a sequel to last year.
In addition, potted morning glories grown in the garden will be displayed in the Kurashino Botanical Garden's vinyl greenhouses, Azumamaguya, and Yoshiizu display area.

●Variety morning glories: 40 strains of regular tree type and 25 strains of emergent type
●About 25 strains of large-flowered morning glories from the Meiji era onward
●European ・ About 10 strains of closely related morning glories from North America
