May, 12th, 2008. - Comparing the flowers of two types of Rosa persica: Type 1, the left one, is from Taschkent, type 2, the right one, from Persia. Type 1 has a bigger stigma, purple or burgundy stamina (!) and more and straight prickles on the stems. The leaflets are a bit deeper serrated. Type 2 has a smaller stigma, yellow stamina and less prickles, that are thicker and "crooked" on the stems. The leaflets are less serrated. The origin of the two types should be a few thousand km apart! (I think this is the first comparing that has been ever done on different types of persica.)
