Creamy white blooms with faintly fringed, split petal tips drift somewhere between a dahlia and a sea anemone. Bred in Japan and introduced in 1953, this variety carries a name that translates as Messenger from the Moon, and the flowers earn it. Wedding florists and collectors reach for it when they want something genuinely unlike anything else. It also holds its form on the show bench.
