Large to very large pure white flowers are composed of a single row of overlapping wide outer petals that look as though someone tucked an anemone form flower neatly in its center. The yellow stamens simply add to its beauty. The long lasting flowers of Shiro Chan would make the perfect corsage or float them in a bowl.
