The Difference between Peony Flower Buds in Spring And Winter
1.Appearance and Form
Winter flower buds:
Appearance:
In winter, the flower buds of tree peonies are in a dormant state, tightly wrapped by scales, which are usually darker in color and may appear brown or dark green.
Morphology:
Winter flower buds are relatively full, but not as noticeably swollen as spring flower buds. The scales tightly adhere to each other, protecting the young flower buds inside.
Spring flower buds:
Appearance:
As the temperature rises in spring, the flower buds of tree peonies begin to sprout, and the scales gradually loosen and fall off, revealing the young flower buds inside. The color of the scales may change to light green or yellow green, showing vibrant vitality.
Form:
In spring, the flower buds visibly expand and gradually emerge, presenting a posture of about to bloom.
2.Growth status and vitality
Winter flower buds:
Growth status:
In winter, flower buds are in a dormant state, growing slowly or stopping. At this time, the cell division and metabolic activity inside the flower bud slow down to adapt to the low-temperature environment.
Vitality:
Although winter flower buds may seem stationary, they are still accumulating strength for spring flowering. The nutrients and water inside the flower buds are stored and quickly released when spring arrives.
Spring flower buds:
Growth status:
Spring flower buds begin to grow rapidly, with accelerated cell division and metabolic activity. With the rise of temperature and the increase of light, flower buds gradually develop and mature, ready to bloom.
Vitality:
Spring flower buds are full of vitality and vigor. They quickly absorb nutrients and water from the soil, synthesize organic matter through photosynthesis, and provide sufficient energy and material basis for flowering.
