If you finish this and still don't have credit for Dawn's Blossom for the achievement, go to the Arboretum and check with the Inkmasters there. They have two quickie little quests to collect petals and wasp stingers, and that was what I was missing after finishing all the main questlines.

What to do
Description
My love, Lo, tried to get permission to marry me from the pandriarchs. Though they have passed beyond, their favor would carry a lot of weight. Thing is, they are spirits, and none of the gifts or tributes we brought impress them. To win their favor they claimed that either Lo or a champion must defeat them in single combat. Lo is a good man, but not a fighter. Would you be our champion?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shrine of the Dawn
The "children" you seek are not actually children but grown pandaren, despite what their elders might claim. Their love will not be held in check by the feuds of their families.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The High Elder
How strange, to have such a foreign-looking <class> visiting our temple. Are you here to study? You... you look very strong. You wouldn't have any trouble getting accepted into the monastery. You should talk to the High Elder, up on the balcony above.
