The semi-double sport of Jewel of Spring, this huge camellia-like bloom is primrose-yellow with crisp red petal edges, occasional pale raspberry striations, feathered green sepals and a steel-blue, interior starburst. Meaning dawn or daybreak in Japanese, it has a faint, sweet fragrance. Tulip Class: Giant Darwin Hybrid.
