🟡6 common magnolia characteristics:
1. Wangchun Magnolia: The earliest magnolia to open. White from afar, pink at the base of petals up close. Because the outer 3 petals degenerate and fall early, it looks like 6 petals. The flower pattern is crooked and not very good-looking.
2. Magnolia: blooms a week later than Wangchun. White, 9 petals, and all about the same length. The base of the petals is pure white or purplish-red. The flower shape is full and elegant, and it looks good.
3, Erqiao Yulan: It has nothing to do with the big and small Qiao of the Three Kingdoms, because it is a hybrid of white magnolia and purple magnolia. The flower color is outer ultraviolet and white, and some varieties are red outside and white inside. There are 9 petals, the outermost 3 petals are about 2/3 the length of the inside. There are many varieties, and the more common ones in China are "Red Luck" Erqiao Magnolia, "Ivy" Erqiao Magnolia, "Danxin" Erqiao Magnolia, and "Purple" Erqiao Magnolia (the common purple magnolia in life is like this).
4. Purple magnolia: The first three are first flowered and then long leaves, and purple magnolia is a flower and leaf opening at the same time. Because the outer 3 petals degenerate into purple-green sepals, it also looks like 6 petals. Flower color: outer ultraviolet and inner white. Magnolia is endemic to China and listed in the 2009 IUCN Red List of Plants, which is not easy to transplant and conserve, and is very precious.
5, Topaz: Officially called Flying Magnolia, it is often confused with the Yellow Orchid of the genus Laughter. Flying Magnolia is a variant of magnolia. Very distinguishable, the flowers are butterbrood, very fragrant.
6, magnolia: white, large flowers, like lotus flowers, so also known as lotus magnolia. Flowering in early summer. The leaves seem to be coated with a layer of wax.
🟡 Two magnolia and purple magnolia are the most easily confused, and the method of distinguishing is as follows:
1. Look at the number of petals: 9 petals of Erqiao magnolia; Magnolia has 6 petals and 3 sepals on the outside.
2. Look at the leaves: Erqiao magnolia blooms first and then grows leaves; Magnolia is a flower leaf open at the same time.
🟡 How to distinguish between Wangchun magnolia and white magnolia:
1. Look at the number of petals: Wangchun magnolia looks like 6 petals because the 3 petals outside have degenerated and become smaller; Magnolia is neat with 9 petals.
2. Look at the flower type: the magnolia flowers are relatively small and look wilted; Magnolia flowers are full, simple and generous
