What are the characteristics of peony flowers?
Today, I will introduce to you the characteristics of peony flowers and the related introduction of green plants and flowers, including the features and morphological characteristics of peony flowers. Details are as follows:
Talking about the characteristics of peony flowers, due to the variety of species and different colors, their characteristics are also not the same. So, what are the characteristics of peony flowers? The characteristics of peony flowers can be divided into six major morphological features based on the number of petal layers: sunflower type, lotus type, rose type, hemisphere type, crown type, and hydrangea type. Let's specifically introduce the six characteristics of peony flowers. This article is compiled by Fresh Flowers 24-Hour National Outstanding Florists and Quality Physical Flower Shop Alliance.
【Six Characteristics of Peony Flowers】
<1. Single Petal Type>
This type of peony flower has 2-3 rounds of petals, 10-15 petals, wide and flat, with 200-300 stamens and 4-6 pistils. Both stamens and pistils develop normally and have strong fruiting ability. Varieties such as Opium Purple, Pomegranate Red, and Fengdan White represent this type.
<2. Lotus Type>
The lotus type peony flower has 4-5 rounds of petals, 20-25 petals, wide petals, similar in size and shape, clear arrangement, normal pistil development, and strong fruiting ability. However, some varieties occasionally have stamens or pistil stigma petalization. Representative varieties include Similar to荷花 (lotus), Jin Yun Hong (Brocade Cloud Red), and Yu Ban Bai (Jade Plate White).
<3. Crown Type>
The crown type peony flower has 2-5 rounds of outer petals, wide and flat, with most or all stamens petalized into small, curly petals, forming a dense and towering petal group similar to a crown. Inner petals are irregularly arranged, often mixed with normal stamens or degenerating stamens, and often retain anthers between petals; pistils are degenerated or petalized, occasionally fruiting.
<4. Hydrangea Type>
The hydrangea type peony flower has fully petalized stamens, with inner and outer petals similar in shape and size, crowded and bulging, forming a spherical shape; pistils are basically or completely degenerated or petalized, with no fruiting ability. The most representative are Dou Lü (Bean Green) and Lü Xiang Qiu (Green Fragrant Ball).
<5. Chrysanthemum Type>
The chrysanthemum type peony flower has more than 6 rounds of petals, similar petal shapes, neat arrangement, clear layers, gradually becoming smaller from the outside to the inside, and occasionally petalized. There are 5-11 pistils, growing normally or degenerating smaller. Representative varieties include Rose Red, Cong Zhong Xiao (Smiling from the Middle), and Yin Hong Qiao Dui (Silver Red Clever Pair).
<6. Golden Ring Type>
The golden ring type peony flower has 2-3 rounds of outer petals, wide and flat, with some stamens petalized into narrow and upright large petals in the center of the flower. There is a circle of normal stamens in the shape of a golden ring between the central petals and the outer petals. Pistils are normal or slightly petalized, with poor fruiting ability. Representative varieties are Bai Tian E (White Butterfly), Fen Mian Tao Hua (Pink-faced Peach Blossom), and Yu Mei Ren (Jade Beauty).
