This is a native variety of peony, with 2 to 3 rounds of relatively broad petals, and normally developed stamens and pistils, making it a hermaphrodite.

Lotus type

There are 4 to 5 rounds of petals, which are broad in shape. The stamens may be petalized into broken petals, while the pistils are normal.

Chrysanthemum type

There are more than 6 petals, which gradually become smaller from the outside to the inside. The stamens and pistils are normal, but the number of stamens is relatively small.

Rose Type

There are many petals, which gradually become smaller from the outside to the inside. The pistil is normal and the stamens have disappeared.

Building subclass

The outer petals are relatively large, and the stamens are centrifugally distributed. The flower shape is relatively obvious, and the flower shape is raised or towering.

Golden core type

The outer petals are relatively wide, with 2 to 3 rounds of petals. During the growth period, the stamens will become larger, the filaments will become thicker, and the stamens will appear golden yellow.
