Many flower friends come to Tucao, buying flowers is always cheated, some flowers are long, but the prices are different. Today Huahua is going to write a technical post: teach you to distinguish these twins in the flowers

Common Mint differences

In summer, many flower friends will buy a few pots of mint, but although they are all called mint, do you know what Mint you buy, can you eat it, and what's the effect

There are four kinds of mint on the market: peppermint, spearmint, lemon mint, cat mint.

1. Peppermint

Peppermint has thin, sharp and long leaves, smooth leaf surface, radiated herringbone veins, and strong taste. It is suitable for cooking spices.

2. Spearmint

Also known as green mint, is a relatively common variety of mint. The color of the leaves is deep, uneven, the old leaf tip is not obvious, the new leaf tip is obvious, the smell is strong, generally used as dessert decoration

3. Lemon Mint

Lemon Mint is the most easily confused Mint variety. It's no different from spearmint in length. It's mainly different in taste. When the leaves of lemon mint are pinched, they will smell lemon, or a smell of soap

4. Catnip

The biggest characteristic of catnip is that it has white fluff on the leaf, and it also has fragrance. When the cat smells it, it will go mad.

Rose, rose, rose difference

Although they are all Rosaceae, the prices of rose, rose and rose are not the same. Now many roses on the market are not real roses, can you tell?

1. Rose and rose

The difference between rose and rose mainly depends on the branches. The leaves of rose are big, 3-5 leaves grow together, and the thorns on the branches are big and barb. The leaves of rose are many, 5-9 leaves grow together, and the leaves have obvious veins, and the branches have dense thorns.

Now the "Rose" in the florist's shop is mostly cut rose, with good-looking flowers and good reproduction, so it can supply the market demand. For example, the red rose, which has always been popular, is actually the rose Carola

2. Rose and rose

Most of the roses are open in many seasons. They can bloom several times a year. The flowers are bigger and more beautiful. Roses only bloom once a year. The flowers are smaller. They usually open in groups.

Fragrant wood and capsaicin

I believe that many flower friends have bought Pistacia weinmannifolia. In fact, most Pistacia weinmannifolia in the market is fake pepper wood. The difference between them is 18000 miles, not even close relatives.

1. Fragrant wood

The Pistacia weinmannifolia is Coptis. The new leaves will turn red. The top of the leaves is 2 pieces, in the shape of "Ya". The Pistacia weinmannifolia can extract essential oil. The leaves and skins can also be used as medicine.

2. Capsaicin

Capsicum belongs to Zanthoxylum. Its leaves are small and glossy. There is only one leaf at the tip of the leaf. Except for the green environment, it has no value. Almost all the fragrant trees on the market are it.

Tears of lovers and beads of Buddha

Many flesh fed flower friends call lover's tears and Buddha's beads mixed. Although they are both hanging meat, they still look very different.

1. Lover's tears

The leaves of lover's tears are sharp. If you are fatter, you will still have a small sharp point.

2. Buddha beads

Buddha beads, of course, are round like beads. Although they have small tips, they are still round in general.
