https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geum_urbanum Wood avens, distantly related to strawberrys, this plant is where the spice cloves gets it name as the root tastes like a less potent clove and apparently looks like a cloven hoof (it looks like a forked carrot) and the name was transferred to the dryed flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clove

I realized that I posted the Karume white twice instead of the chinzan white

Here is the chinzan white

@Paradox Beautiful as it is, I think this cultivar is misidentified.

For one, there is no Chinzan white. Chinzan are vivid pink with a darker blotch, rounded lobes, a sport of Osakasuki.… which is also a shade of pink.

Here are some of mine, getting ready to be pruned

Could it possibly be a Gunpo? With its ruffled edges and occasional pink flecks and light greenish blotches in the center, it seems to match pretty closely. Otherwise it could be another cultivar.
