peony? Peony? If you can't even tell the difference, how can you go out for an outing and enjoy the flowers!

Winter jasmine VS forsythia

Forsythia and Forsythia suspensa can be described as "twin sisters", and most people confuse the two. However, there are still obvious differences between Winter jasmine and Forsythia suspensa.

1. Winter Jasmine

Forsythia is a small shrub with soft and slender branches that grow in an arched and drooping shape.

Each forsythia flower has 6 petals or 5 petals, and the flowers appear close together when viewed from the front.

The old branches of forsythia are gray-brown, and the twigs are green.

2. Forsythia

Forsythia is a deciduous shrub that grows upright with delicate, curved branches.

Each Forsythia flower has 4 petals, which are slender and separate.

Forsythia branches are round, yellow-brown, and have raised dots.

Rose VS Rose VS Rose

Many friends really can't tell the difference between roses, common roses and roses, and roses are often seen being impersonated in flower markets. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly distinguish the three.

1. Rose

Chinese rose is an upright shrub with thick, cylindrical branches and short, thick, hooked prickles.

The base of the rose leaf is nearly round, the edges are serrated, the leaf surface is dark green, and the surface is smooth and shiny.

Roses are generally single flowers that grow at the top, with bright colors and a wide variety of varieties, blooming all year round.

2. Rose

Rosa rugosa is a deciduous shrub with dark green leaves that are glabrous on both sides. The leaves are shiny but duller than those of Chinese roses. The branches are slender, covered with prickles and are glabrous.

The flowers are small, numerous and dense, blooming 1 to 2 times a year. They have a light fragrance and are often used as flower hedges.

3. Rose

The leaflets in rose compound leaves are numerous and thick, with 5-9 leaflets on one petiole. The leaf surface is shiny and wrinkled, and the back of the leaf is whitish with small burrs.

Roses grow singly or in clusters of 1-3, with short pedicels and flower stems roughly the same as those of roses. They only bloom once in summer.

Plum blossom vs. wintersweet

Many friends have always believed that wintersweet is a kind of plum blossom, but this is not the case. Although the names are similar, they each have their own characteristics.

1. Plum Blossom

The plum tree is a tree with alternate leaves that are broadly ovate to ovate in shape.

The flowers come in various colors including white, pink, purple, dark red, etc. The flowering period is in the second month of the lunar calendar every year.

2. Wintersweet

Wintersweet is a shrub with clustered and upright branches. The leaves are opposite, oblong in shape, rough and green on the upper surface and smooth and gray on the back.

Wintersweet flowers are mainly waxy yellow in color, with other colors being relatively rare. They mostly bloom around the twelfth month of the lunar calendar.

Peony VS Peony

Peony is known as the "king of flowers", and herbaceous peony is even more famous as the "flower fairy" and the "May flower god". Both have a noble and elegant appearance.

1. Peony

Peony is a shrub with strong and sturdy branches, spreading, smooth and hairless leaves with white powder on the back.

The peony disk (the enlarged part of the receptacle) is very developed, covering more than one-third of the carpel.

2. Peony

Peony is a herbaceous plant with a thick, yellow-brown taproot, clustered stems, and elliptical to lanceolate leaves.

The disc of peony is not well developed and only covers the base of the carpel.
