Sept. Morn
An 1859 Japanese cultivar appearing in multiple flower forms — anemone, formal double, and semi-double — with large white early-season blooms.
First documented by Kasuya Kamegorō (1859) in the section on early-blooming cultivars. Itō Ko'emon (1879) described it as a white formal double, while modern observations show the flowers appearing in multiple forms — anemone, formal double, and semi-double — a variability noted as characteristic of this cultivar. Resembles 'Shiro-daikagura.' Large peony-form blooms flower early in the season. Illustrated in Tuyama's Camellia Cultivars of Japan (1966). Listed locally as 'Sept. Morn / Shirabyoshi' and registered as 'Shirabyōshi.' Source: International Camellia Register.
