double flower
Extra-petaled garden variety
A double flower is a cultivated bloom with extra petals, giving it a fuller, more ornate appearance than the wild form.
The additional petals typically develop from stamens or other floral parts that have been modified through breeding: double roses, double peonies.
Double flowers are prized for their showy appearance but often produce less pollen and nectar, making them less useful to bees.
