Bud-mutation carnation cultivars of the “MINAMI series” have a diversity of flower color in which the directions of bud sports are recorded. ‘Poly Minami’, which is the origin of the “MINAMI series”, produced the eight cultivars with various petal colors through continuous bud mutations. Flavonoid p...
