Flower opening status categories and scores used to calculate the ornamental value (based on Jezdinská Slezák et al_, 2022)_
| Phenological stage | Ornamental value (score) | |
|---|---|---|
| Bud | WB: white bud, upright | 4 |
| Opening flower | OF1: 1 horizontal tepal | 5 |
| OF2: 2 horizontal tepals | 5 | |
| OF3: 3 horizontal tepals | 6 | |
| OF4: 4 horizontal tepals | 6 | |
| OF5: 5 horizontal tepals | 7 | |
| OF6h: all tepals are half-opened (the centre of the corona is visible) | 7 | |
| Open flower | FO: tepals are in a plane | 10 |
| FOhb: tepals are standing half-backwards (45>) | 9 | |
| FOb: tepals are standing backwards (45<) | 8 | |
| Senescent flower | AF0: the tips of the tepals become membranous, but keep their turgor | 8 |
| AF1: all tepals become membranous, but keep their turgor | 6 | |
| AF2: the tepals start to gather, the corona still keeps its colour and turgor | 1 | |
| AF3: the tepals are shrivelled (complete wilting) | 0 |
