Yesterday, my chojubai shohin popped open one flower, so today, I took this shot. The open flower may be hard to see, but it is just to the right of center in this image.
As you can see, there will be a lot more activity flower-wise, but an acquaintance from Kyoto once advised me that catching just one flower open was the most desirable thing. I've tried to follow his advice.
In the chojubai-world, there is a lot of discussion about the red variant vs. the white. The red is preferred due to the ramification, but I prefer the white. First, it is easier to keep alive. Second, the chojubai white is incredibly floriferous. And finally, these are tough little guys.
The pot is Chinese, and signed Wen Hui. It is not clear to me whether Wen Hui is an actual person, or whether it is an address, because there is a Wen Hui street in the Yixing area. The pot is porcelain and painted in enamel with raised black outlines.
Anyway, I wanted to share my single blossom with you.
