What is Plena

Plena, (Double Bridal Wreath , Yae-Kodemari , Scientific Name: Spiraea cantoniensis var. plena) is a double-flowered variant of Bridal Wreath, Kodemari , Scientific Name: Spiraea cantoniensis). While the regular Kodemari typically blooms in spring, this Yae-Kodemari was observed blooming on November 25th on Izu Oshima, suggesting it might be a case of reblooming. Apart from having more petals, it appears similar to the regular Kodemari.
