Neo. Kokuyo

[Hakumin]

There was just one last bud left to open, but I got impatient to take pics

Kokuyo 黒耀 has more or less the same flowers as Seikai but the leaves are very different—stout, but longer than a beanie and are strongly textured. The pedicels are a bit longer as well allowing the flowers to spread out a bit more rather than being bunched together the way they usually are on Seikai. I also find it more willing to bloom for me than Seikai.
