The difference between spoon medicinal flower and peony flower

Peony flower and peony flower, I think if you can't even tell the difference between peony flower and peony flower, in fact, the simplest way to distinguish peony flower is that peony flower is a herb, all the aboveground parts will die in winter, and the base of peony will sprout and blossom again next year. Peony is a woody plant, and the trunk will stand upright after defoliation in winter, and it can be preserved long enough to become a peony tree. This is the simplest way to distinguish between the two.

Other methods are as follows

I. difference between leaves

Peony leaves are usually two-Ternate leaves, the surface is green, glabrous, the back is light green, sometimes powdery, sparse pubescent or subglabrous along the veins, petiole about 5-11 cm long.

The lower leaves of Paeonia lactiflora are double-Ternate compound leaves with various shapes, the surface is yellowish green, green and dark green, and the back is pink-green, hairy or glabrous.

Second, the difference between flowers

The peony flower grows at the top of the branch, about 10-17 cm in diameter, with 5 petals or double petals, Obovate in shape, various colors, reddish purple, rose, pink to white, etc., flowering in May.

Peony flowers generally grow only at the top of the stem or near the tip of the leaf axil, the flower is smaller than the former, about 8-11 cm in diameter, petals 5-13, the shape of Obovate. Today, horticultural varieties are rich and varied in color, with hundreds of petals.
