I bet you can't recognize these four flowers just by looking at the leaves.

BGM:Intro-The xx

-Tasha's preface-

In the world, there are countless amazing wonders of creation: or beautiful, or ugly, or strange, or like pole.

This is true from human beings to the grass at human feet.

Because of fate, but also because of carefulness, big hairy sister brought us four kinds of grass flowers, they bloom stunning, but the leaf shape is very similar, how to distinguish it?

-the text begins-

The leaves of the four kinds of flowers growing in the field are very similar when they detect the smell of spring from the cold winter and emerge from the soil.

At first I thought they were the same kind of flower, but I didn't know that they were very different from each other until they bloomed.

It was a magical encounter. I took off their leaves, memorized their names carefully and wanted to share them with you, but when a gust of wind blew, I blew out of order and quickly picked them again and reordered them.

You really can't see a big difference just by looking at the leaves. If you don't look at the subtitles, will you also have the illusion that they are really the same kind of flowers?

* Golden Lotus *

Let's start with this golden lotus, also known as global flower, English name: globe flower, Ranunculaceae, hardy (- 40 degrees or less).

When a friend moved to his new house to visit, a yellow flower rose high from the haystack, without a little bit of defense, it just appeared, in my world, under my shovel.

I decided to save it. My friend wanted to clean up the garden, weed and rearrange it, so he gave it to me.

Its story is no different from other freeze-resistant grass flowers: blooming in June, dormant and withered in autumn, covered with snow, quietly sprouting in early May, water twice a week, growing up and blooming quietly.

The color of egg yolk is particularly eye-catching in a piece of green leaves and safflower.

The leaves are umbrella-shaped, with flowers on top of the thick poles, looking very solid.

I would like to see what its petals look like when all the petals are opened, but it never takes off the veil until it withered, and the petals are tight, keeping a sense of mystery.

I thought the golden lotus was so shy until I saw another golden lotus in the park. I really sighed that there was always a surprise waiting for you. How can I sum it up in a few simple words?

This is also a kind of golden lotus, which is different from the egg yellow golden lotus that can not be opened in my home. This kind of golden lotus is golden, and its petals can be opened to open all its petals and bloom a bright smile in the sun.

But these two kinds are golden lotus, flower friends should not be too entangled, for example, this is the same as petunia has a variety of patterns.

* Anemone *

Let's talk about this anemone, which is probably the sister of the golden lotus, which is equally hardy and beautiful, sprouting from its roots or self-sowing seeds in spring.

It is a relative of Ranunculaceae. For the sake of the same leaf, I put it in the bag. These are the leaves of anemone:

Anemone and golden lotus have similar leaves, but have different flowers.

The golden lotus blossoms on the leaves, with a strong stem; the anemone blossoms on the high leaves and stems, swaying in the wind and graceful.

The elder sister has the elder sister's responsibility, the younger sister has the younger sister's delicate, this is similar to our human society.

* Old crane grass *

This is another freeze-resistant grass flower in the family-old crane grass. From sprouting and flowering to withering, dormant and then sprouting, reincarnation year after year.

It has many similarities with anemone: the leaves are similar, and the stems are protruding high. If the flowers are not very different, I really think they are the same people with different colors.

Careful examination shows that among the English names of old crane grass, there is crane, which belongs to the family Miaoliaceae. As long as the sun is uniform, its plant shape will be regular and round, just as it has been planned with a circle.

The old crane grass likes water and is not tolerant to drought. At the beginning of June, it will protrude tall flower branches from the bottom. When the flowers bloom, they stand out from the crowd. No wonder it is called Old Crane Grass.

There are a variety of colors. I have seen white, purple and dark pink.

* Aconitum *

Aconitum, Ranunculaceae, is also the old root sprouting, flowering at the end of July, the leaves are almost the same as the old crane grass. Looking at the leaves alone, I can't tell who is which.

However, the plant type of aconitum is different from that of old crane grass, and it is unlikely to be a regular ball.

The pattern is even more peculiar. At the beginning of blooming, the flowers have a good smell, but soon the fragrance will disappear.

-Summary-

The leaves of these four kinds of flowers have little difference, but the most obvious difference lies in plant type, flower type, flower stem, flower color and florescence.

1. The plant type of old crane grass is regular and round.

two。 The flowers of the golden lotus are on the leaves and have stout stems

3. Both Anemone and Crane have tall flower stems. The former is clear and white, while the latter is rich in color (white, purple, deep pink).

4. Golden lotus, anemone and old crane grass have the same florescence, blooming in June, aconite will bloom one and a half months later, and bloom at the end of July.

Their similarities, in addition to leaves, also have similar maintenance methods:

1. Cold-resistant, cold zone can be planted, such as the three northeastern provinces, Inner Mongolia, the great northwest, can be unprotected through the winter

two。 Resistant to shade, but with sunshine, the plant type will be more symmetrical and flowering better.

3. Barren, but with fertilizer, it will blossom more and more beautifully.

4. If the plant is not heat-resistant, it is best to provide suitable ambient temperature, such as shading and spray.

5. It is not tolerant to drought and permeates water once every two days in the environment of soil planting and sun exposure.

All over the world, there are wonders: different ownership, different flower patterns, but have the same leaf shape.

Just like in the vast sea of people, there may be such a similar you.

Such a fate must be cherished.
