Although they are somewhat similar, a closer look will reveal their differences. Did you find that the leaves of chihualian are oval or spade shaped, while the leaves of the second kind of plants are oval or obovate; moreover, the first kind of corolla is cylindrical, while the latter kind of corolla is a bit like a urn; in addition, the length of the first kind of stem is generally below five centimeters, while the second kind of stem is below eight centimeters. Of course, these differences are more subtle, not easy to see
Secondly, we need to mention that there is a hard and short tip at the top of jihualian's leaf, while Carola has no such feature.
What's more, it's easy to see that the tip of Chihuahua's leaf is light red, and the edge of its leaf is also light red. Carola is different from this. The edge of its leaf is very thick red.
Of course, there is also a clear edge line in the middle of Carola's leaves, which is still protruding.
Although they are similar in appearance, their popularity is different. It can be said that for various reasons, the popularity of chihualien is higher than that of Carola. Of course, they are very lovely, but the degree of rarity is different
