I have no idea what it is but I sure would like to find out because I'd like to get some if it's a clumper. It's beautiful.

I don't have any idea what it is but if I find out I'll certainly be trying to get my hands on some.

Chungi is thin walled. not enough bloom for chungi.
Definately a clumper.
