peonies—Japanese 
Japanese peonies, like single peonies, usually 
have one row of petals but the very best ones have 
three rows. The centers of the flowers, however, 
are made up of very long, narrow petaloids the 
center of which is usually the same color of the 
petals while the edges are yellow, the same color 
as the stamens of single and double peonies. The 
yellow edge of these petaloids often carries pollen 
which, in other varieties, is carried on the end of 
the stamens. The very best varieties are usually 
vigorous in growth and prolific in blooming.
