Name: Maurice
Grey Highlands, Ontario (Zone 5a)
A normal bloom has three sepals, three petals, six stamens (three for the three sepals and three for the three petals) and one pistil (made up of three fused parts).
A poly bloom might have four sepals, four petals, eight stamens and one pistil.
Or
A poly bloom might five sepals, five petals, 10 stamens and one pistil.
Or
A poly bloom might have six sepals, six petals, 12 stamens and two pistils.

I am not certain that a simple count of flower parts could identify/separate some poly blooms with two pistils from fused flowers.
