In the dazzling spring, I teach you to recognize plum blossom, cherry blossom, peach blossom and apricot blossom at a glance.

I went to see flowers last weekend and saw three kinds of flowers: plum blossom, cherry blossom and peach blossom. However, I found that few people can distinguish the three of them. If you add similar apricot flowers, it is estimated to be even more stupid. So I studied plant identification and decided to help you summarize the identification skills of these three kinds of flowers. I hope it is useful to everyone!

First of all, let's look at the confusion of several flowers:

1, the petals are mostly pink, although some are white;

2. They are all Rosaceae plants with similar flower shapes, but they are almost the same if you don't look carefully;

3. The flowering period is similar. Take Jiangnan as an example. Except for plum blossom, which began to bloom in late winter in1-February, most of them are in bloom in March-April, and because plum blossom lasts for a long time, it often lasts until cherry blossoms and peach blossoms are in bloom, such as now.

However, it is not difficult to distinguish other things carefully. Let's distinguish one by one:

Chinese plum

Plum blossoms have hard calyx, but peach blossoms don't. This is the most intuitive difference.

The hard calyx is the receptacle of the flower root, and the plum blossom with 5 hard petals;

However, if the branches have leaves, they must not be plum blossoms;

Plum blossoms bloom earlier than peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and other flowers, mostly in winter, and of course some in early spring; Peach blossoms and cherry blossoms are in early spring;

Plum blossoms are fragrant and peach blossoms are sweet;

Plum blossoms have a strong "wax" texture, while peach blossoms have a strong "paper" texture. Simply put, plum petals are hard and peach petals are soft.

The biggest difference between cherry blossom and other flowers such as peach blossom and plum blossom is that its flowers do not grow directly on the branches, but first open a small soft receptacle and then bloom;

In addition, the tips of petals have flower defects.

peach blossom

Compared with cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, plum blossoms and apricot blossoms have no long pedicels. Generally speaking, it is directly attached to the long branches;

Peach petals are generally pink, with no white petals and longer petals;

When flowers bloom, the branches have leaf buds or tender leaves, that is, flowers and leaves bloom together, and plum blossoms have no leaves. Germinate when the temperature is right, and germinate when the apricot flowers are not ripe.

apricot flower

Apricot flowers are mostly in clusters, crowded together and leafless when they bloom.

Apricot blossom and plum blossom are similar, both of them have no leaves when they bloom, but the petals of apricot blossom are mostly 5 odd petals, and plum blossom is double petals. Apricot flowers also have long stamens, curly calyx (the calyx of plum blossom is a round petal), red branchlets and dark green branchlets.

Simply put,

It must be a cherry blossom with long pedicels and cracked petals;

Petals are hard and thick, and those with five hard sepals must be plum blossoms;

Obviously, it is a peach blossom with flowers and leaves together and long petals;

The calyx turns over and the stamens are very long apricot flowers;

In addition, from the order of flowering in the morning and evening, plum blossom-cherry blossom-peach blossom-apricot blossom.

After reading these, do you think these things are easy to distinguish?

Spring has come, and now it's time for these kinds of flowers to compete and open. If you learn these well, you can enjoy flowers and pretend to be forced at the weekend.

Finally, I recommend a song "Flower Dance"/#/Song? Id=406238, pure tone, but very cheerful, full of picture sense, like a song title, like flowers dancing. This is my favorite, and I'm sure you will like it, too.
