Japanese Peonies 
The Japanese Peony is a transition type between the singles and doubles, in which 
the stamens are partially transformed into petals and referred to as petaloids or stami- 
nodes. Often the staminodes are incurved, curled or twisted, and they form a cushion in the 
center of the bloom which contrasts more or less in form and color with the guards to 
make attractive combinations.
