Platycodon

Platycodon is beloved flower in Japan, and it is one of the Seven Flowers of Autumn.  In fact, my father's family seal contains Platycodon (is called as KIKYO in Japanese), so I wanted to grow it in my garden.

These are Platycodon seeds.  I sowed three different kinds: HAKONE BLUE, MOTHER OF PEARL and FUJI BLUE. 

After about 1 week from sowing, Platycodon seedlings emerged.  (I forgot to label which is which - I will have to wait for the flowers to know!)

After waited another week, I transplanted the seedlings from seeding pallets to bigger pots.  I want to see the flowers already!  I hope they grow fast now...  (10.08.10, Day 14 from being sowed)
