Every spring blooming season, a variety of beautiful flowers compete to open, dazzling. Among them, many people can not distinguish between plum blossoms and cherry blossoms, and many people confuse them. The following is to introduce the difference between plum blossoms and cherry blossoms.

Difference 1. Different tree species

Plum flowers are the flowers of small deciduous trees of the genus Prunus in Rosaceae, with grayish brown bark, purple-brown or reddish brown old branches, yellowish red branchlets, leaf blade oblong-Obovate, long oval, apex acuminate, acute or short tail tip, base cuneate, margin obtusely doubly serrated, often mixed with single serrations. Cherry blossom is the flower of deciduous trees of Rosaceae, with gray bark, purplish brown branchlets, green twigs, leaf oval or Obovate, apex acuminate or cuspidate, base rounded, sparsely cuneate, edges sharply doubly serrated, teeth acuminate.

Second, the flowers are different.

1. Flowering: both plum and cherry blossoms blossom around April. They do not grow directly on the branches. They usually gather together and bloom in clusters. But plum blossoms usually show flowers and leaves on the branches, and cherry blossoms usually bloom first leaves or flowers and leaves at the same time.

2. Pedicels: the pedicels of plum flowers are shorter, and their length makes the clusters of flowers look less crowded, and just enough to prop up the Corolla and make them brilliantly facing all angles; the pedicels of cherry blossoms are longer, and after the bud blossoms, the cherry blossoms hang down their faces shyly, and people can clearly see its delicate petals and fine stamens.

3. Size: the plum flower is smaller, 1.5-2.2 cm in diameter, and the cherry blossom is larger, 3-3.5 cm in diameter.

4. Petals: plum flowers are generally single, white petals, oblong Obovate in shape, petals without cleavage; cherry blossoms with single, compound petals, white or pink petals, oval in shape, with a small gap (split) at the apex.

5. Floral fragrance: plum blossoms smell fragrant; cherry blossoms are fragrant, but very light.

Third, the language of flowers is different.

The flower language of Li Hua is pure; the cherry blossom is a symbol of love and hope, representing elegant, simple and pure love.
