In the world of plants, magnolia and magnolia have become the beauties of plants in people's hearts with their unique charm and form. Although they belong to the same family of magnoliaceae, they show very different styles in many aspects. From the species and plant type, leaf shape, to the characteristics of the flowers, the scope of planting and the use, they all show their unique botanical charm.
First of all, from the perspective of tree species and plant types, magnolia and magnolia show completely different growth trends. Magnolia, as a representative of tall trees, has a tall tree shape that can reach about 25 meters high, as if it is a giant in the plant world, standing on the earth, showing its majesty and magnificence. Magnolia, on the other hand, appears in the form of a shrub or a small tree, and its tree shape is shorter, with a height of only about 5 meters, more like a petite and delicate dancer, dancing lightly in the world of plants.
In terms of leaf shape, magnolia and magnolia also have their own merits. The leaves of magnolia are obovate, with protruding leaf tips, like a green sword, pointing towards the sky. Its leaves are dark green and thick, as if it has been given strength and strength by nature. The leaves of magnolias, on the other hand, are obovate-oval in shape, slightly lighter in color and relatively thin, giving them a light and soft feel. When the breeze blows, the leaves of magnolia sway gently, as if telling its tenderness and gentleness.
However, the most striking difference between magnolia and magnolia is their floral characteristics. The calyx of magnolia and the petals are often inseparable, often 9 counts, the petals are white, and the base is often pink, like a fairy in a pink dress, pure and elegant. The calyx of magnolia flower is obviously different from the petals, 3 sepals, evergreen lanceolate, 6 petals, purple on the outside and white or pink on the inside, as if she is a girl wearing a purple coat and an innocent heart, mysterious and charming. In terms of flowering, magnolia blooms earlier than magnolia. When spring is just stepping on the earth, magnolia can't wait to bloom its flowers to welcome the new season of life. Magnolia, on the other hand, shows its beauty of flowers a little later, around April and May. Of course, the different planting regions will also affect their flowering period, so we can't judge their identity based on the flowering period alone.
In addition to the species, leaves, and flower characteristics, magnolia and magnolia also differ in the scope and use of planting. Magnolia is mainly cultivated in Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places, and the climatic conditions in these areas are suitable for the growth and development of magnolia. Magnolia, on the other hand, is mainly cultivated in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guizhou and other places, where the soil and climate provide a good environment for magnolia to grow. In terms of use, magnolia wood is hard and beautiful, and is often used in furniture making and architectural decoration. Although magnolia also has a certain economic value, its wood use is not as extensive as magnolia. However, whether it is magnolia or magnolia, they are treasures in the plant world, adding endless color and charm to people's lives.
It is worth mentioning that although the flowering period of magnolia flowers is relatively short, the beauty of its flowers is enough to be intoxicating. Different varieties of magnolia flowers may vary in their flowering period, but in general, the flowering period of magnolia flowers can last for about 2-3 months. During this time, the magnolia flowers emit a pleasant fragrance that fills the air and attracts people to stop and watch. Whether it is in a park, a courtyard or a street alley, as long as there are magnolia flowers, it is full of spring breath and vitality.
To sum up, although magnolia and magnolia both belong to the magnolia family, they show unique charm and differences in many aspects. From the species and plant type, to the shape of the leaves, the characteristics of the flowers, the planting range and the use, etc., they all show their unique botanical value. Whether as ornamental plants or economic plants, magnolia and magnolia have brought endless surprises and beauty to people's lives. In the days to come, let us cherish these gifts of nature more and jointly protect these beautiful plant resources!
