Question

Does the flower Semper Augustus still exist today?

Answer 1

NO.

The Semper Augustus type of tulip has since become extinct because tulips, like apples, don't come true from seed and their bulbs don't reliably come back every year, so a strain won't last unless it is regularly replanted, otherwise the chain of genetic continuity can be broken in a single generation.
