"Tatsutaba-benigakisibori-fuurin-kumiageguruma-botan-dozaki Youryuuen"; Maple leaf and reddish persimmon spotted wind-bell composed windmill duplicated twice flower Youryuuen
The leaves are maple-like, having five points. The flowers have shallow splits. When maple is combined with cup flower, a cup flower with shallow splits is produced. This is called a windmill flower. Because the stamens and pistil become petal-like by the combined duplicated (double flower) gene to the windmill flower, the petal-like structures grow from inside the central cup. In the flower of this figure, the petal-like structures changed to bell-shaped. In this way, during the Kaei/Ansei era, many genes were combined, resulting in complicated flowers. However, this combination of genes is thought to have occurred by natural hybridization.
