I'll try to be as serious as possible:
Are Wang Jia and Wang Jia'er one person?
Are Lin Yun and Lin Yun'er one person?
I am actually not cold to the stars, Lin Yun'er, who is looking for on the Internet, I don't know if it is the right version
This I know, I have seen the heroine in Stephen Chow's mermaid movie
Of course not, actually, they were two people with funny expressions.
But to think of saffron and safflower as one thing, the gap is even greater, than the difference between Xi Shi and Dong Shi, the above examples are the same kind, saffron and safflower are not of the same kind, using Chang'e and the Eight Precepts of the Pig as a metaphor is more appropriate, cross-species.
Saffron purple flowers, red flower buds, color matching comparable to fashion
Safflower flowers and dry harvested petals
Saffron is a plant of the Iris family, and safflower is a plant of the Asteraceae family, but because the names are similar, there have been a situation where Zhang Xinyu, Zhang Yuxin, Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Shaohan and other silly and indistinguishable situations have been used by people with hearts to impersonate saffron.
Why?
The vast majority of saffron is imported from Iran, with a global production of only 300-400 tons, and about 150 flowers can collect 1 gram of saffron filigree
The price of saffron is dozens of times the price of safflower, and there is a partial overlap between them, not only Xi Shi will frown, but also Dong Shi, the subtext is that not only saffron will live snow and stasis, but I will also safflower.
Smell is really not good, have smelled many times, this time to take pictures to pretend
But saffron is more beautiful, rare and precious, smells also has a special rich aroma, safflower has a smell of foot, when the tea is drunk, it really can't swallow ah, and it is not a bet to lose, live food Xiang.
The conclusion is not the paper: saffron and safflower are not one thing.
