Luoyang peony is the best in the world, so during the Peony Fair from January to April, people from all over the country will come to Luoyang to watch the peony flowers. The peony flowers are mainly red, and there are more than a dozen colors, such as green and black. There are many kinds of peonies. Next, let's follow sihai.com to have a look?
there are three types and twelve types of peony. That is, single lobe class, double lobe class and double platform class. Single petal type, lotus type, chrysanthemum type, rose type, tuogui type, gold ring type, crown type, Hydrangea type, Chrysanthemum Stage pavilion type, rose stage pavilion type, crown stage pavilion type, Hydrangea stage pavilion type. Here is an example. Single petal type: petals 1-3 rounds, wide, male pistil normal. Such as "yellow flower Kui", "splash ink purple", "Phoenix peony", "fruit in tray" and all wild peony species. Lotus type: the petals are 4-5 rounds wide and consistent, and they look like lotus when they open. Such as' Red Cloud flying film ',' like He Lian 'and' cinnabar base '. Chrysanthemum type: the petals are in many rounds, and the arrangement gradually becomes smaller from the outside to the inside, such as' colorful cloud ',' Luoyang red 'and' Linghua Xiaocui '. Rose type: the petals increase naturally, and become smaller gradually from the outside, with a small part of stamen petals showing fine petals; pistil slightly petalized or normal. Such as "purple gold plate", "dew powder" and "big brown purple". Torquin type: the outer petal is obvious, wide and flat; the stamen is petalized, thin and slightly uplifted from the outside to the inside, showing hemispherical type. Such as "Dahu Hong", "Lu Fen" and "Lantian jade". Golden ring type: the outer valve is prominent and wide, and the middle valve is narrow and vertical, showing golden ring type. Such as' cinnabar red ',' Yao Huang 'and' first case red '. Crown type: the outer petal is protruding, and the middle petal is wider and wider from the flower center, which is like a crown. Such as "Dahu Hong", "Yanrong purple" and "Zhao Fen". Hydrangea type: the stamens are completely petalized, arranged compactly and in the shape of a ball. Such as' Red Dragon for color ',' silver powder and gold scale 'and' shengdanlu '. The last four types can be summarized as Taige type: two double petaled single flowers overlapping. It is divided into "chrysanthemum stack", "Rose stack", "crown stack" and "Hydrangea stack". Such as "fire refining gold pill", "Kunshan night light", "Da Wei Zi", "zichonglou", etc.
In terms of flower color, peony is famous for eight colors, such as white 'luminous white', blue 'Lantian Jade', red 'fire refining Golden Peony', dark purple 'planting Black', purple 'first case red', green 'bean green', pink 'Zhao powder' and yellow 'Yao Huang'. In addition, in the same color, the shades are different. From the fragrance type, it can be divided into white peony, purple with strong fragrance, yellow powder with fragrance, as long as' smell its fragrance, you will know its flowers'.
The leaves of peony were identified as 3 out of 2 recovery leaves. Because of different varieties, the shape, width, thickness and color of leaves are different. Such as' Dahurian 'leaves are large, round and thick, and the leaves are mostly flat. For example, the leaf shape of 'ink sprinkling gold' is large and long, but the leaflet is narrow and long, with thin texture, sparse development or drooping. For example, the whole leaf of 'zhuangyuanhong' is medium-sized, and the leaflets are oblong, with many edge defects and sharp, curly, and the leaves are inclined. For example, there is a layer of white villi on the back of the leaves. Such as' big brown purple 'leaves with purplish red color. (this article is compiled by yxx, editor of sihai.com.

the way to distinguish the varieties from the branches is through the plant shape and branch way. Peony is a cluster shrub, because of different varieties, its plant shape and branch way are also different. Upright type: the branch has small opening angle, upright and upward, long internode, strong growth, and tall plant cluster, such as "Luoyang red", "peaches and plums increase color", etc. Development type: the branch has a large opening angle, extending to all sides, and the plant shape is low. Such as' first grade Zhu Yi 'and' Zhao Fen '. Semi development type: between the above two types, such as "Zhihong" and "Lantian jade". The branching mode can be divided into single branch type and cluster branch type. Single branch type: it has longer branches in the same year and fewer new buds. The buds will be sprouted in the early spring of the next year, with plant height and sparse branches, such as' Yao Huang 'and' fanerqiao '. Cluster branch type: the current year's branches are relatively short, with many new buds and strong branching force. In the same year, clumps of short branches can be formed, with dense short branches. Such as' kudzu 'and' Yingwang's famous pearl ', etc. Different varieties of peony can be identified from their buds, and their bud shape and color are also different. The buds of 'Luoyang spring' are sharp and round; the buds of 'cinnabar base' are narrow and sharp; the buds of 'Qinglong lies in the ink pool' are sharp and hooked, like the beak of an eagle. As for the bud color, it is more abundant: the buds of 'hundred flowers envy' are yellow green; the buds of 'lipstick red' are green; the buds of 'mokui' are dark purple, etc. There is a certain correlation between bud color and flower color. If the bud color is deep, the flower color is also deep; if the bud color is light, the flower color is also light.
generally, the varieties with strong fruit strength and open round carpel are identified from the fruits, most of which are single and half double petal varieties, such as' similar to Jinlian 'and' Fengdan '. The seed setting rate is low, the fruit is clustered, and most of them are double petal varieties, such as "Erqiao" and "Zhushalei". The root differentiation of peony is also an auxiliary means to distinguish its varieties. In some varieties, there are few capillaries in the root system, and the thickness of the root is even, such as' kudzu '. There are many capillaries in other varieties, such as' yingwangmingbaozhu ', most of which are white, yellow white and red white, while the' first case red 'is purplish red, which is an important basis for identifying this variety
