petal characteristics: double-petaled flowers are round, oval, thin, etc.; single-petaled flowers have wide and flat petals, usually wide, oval, or obovate.
fruiting ability: the male and female pistils or pistils of double-petaled flowers will degenerate and have poor fruiting ability; single-petaled flowers can be pollinated and can set fruit normally, and can be propagated through seeds.
Growth speed: Double-petaled flowers will grow faster than single-petaled flowers, but the flowering period of double-petaled flowers is shorter.
1. The difference between double petals and single petals
Petal characteristics: Double flowers and single petals have different shapes and petal characteristics. Double flowers include round, oval, thin strips, etc. Overall, their ornamental value is very high, much higher than that of single-petal flowers. The petals of single-petaled flowers are wide and flat, and are usually broadly oval, oval or obovate. There are obvious differences in petal characteristics.
Fruiting ability: The fruiting ability of double flowers and single flowers is also completely different. The male and female pistils or pistils of double flowers will degenerate, which will reduce their fruiting ability and make it difficult to produce seeds. The pistils and stamens of single-petal flowers are normal, can be pollinated and reproduced, can grow normally and produce seeds, and can be reproduced through seeds. The survival rate of seedling emergence is relatively high.
Growth rate: The growth rates of double-petaled flowers and single-petaled flowers are different. Usually the seeds of double-petaled flowers germinate earlier and grow more vigorously. They generally grow faster than single-petaled flowers, but the flowering period of double-petaled flowers will be shorter.
2. Common double and single flowers
Double flowers: Common double flowers in life include double impatiens , double roses , double poppies , double roses, Double chrysanthemums, etc., have relatively high ornamental value during the flowering period.
Single-petal flowers: Single-petal flowers are more common in life, such as lily, Clivia, peach blossom, peony, crabapple, orchid, white orchid, azalea, rapeseed, lilac, Narcissus and so on.
