Difference between daffodils and orchids

1. Narcissus

1. It belongs to the Amaryllis family, is a variant, and is perennial. Its flowers grow from the flower arrows, which in turn grow from the bulbs. Each bulb can grow about 1-2 flower arrows, and some can even grow 8-11. The inflorescence is umbrella-shaped.

2. Its flowers have about 6 petals, the bottom of the petals are yellow, and there is a layer of protection outside the stamens. Its bulb is generally ovate, with a brown membrane on the outside, and its leaves are relatively narrow and long. It usually blooms in spring.

3. Its bulb contains a lot of juice, which is poisonous and contains many alkaloids, which can be used for analgesia. If animals eat it, it will cause diarrhea.

2. Orchid

1. It has a relatively large number of leaves and its flowers come in many different colors. It usually has a pseudobulb, which is usually oval in shape. The flower pavilion is usually lateral and will droop naturally. Its flower buds usually do not fall off during the flowering period.

2. Its flowers are relatively large in shape, the sepals and petals do not grow together, the column is relatively long, slightly bent forward, and there are wing-like objects on both sides. Its base sometimes grows together with the stamen, and together they are 3-6 mm long. The folds on the lip generally extend from the base to the middle lobe.

3. Difference

1. The roots of the former are thinner and fleshy. The latter is also a fleshy root, but as thick as a chopstick.

2. The former grows from the center of the bulb, and its flower stalk is hollow, the stem is fleshy, and the flower is solid. The flower stalk of the latter grows from the side of the bulb.

3. The bulb of the former is relatively soft and tender, with very obvious layers, which can be peeled off layer by layer until the flower core is finally peeled out. The latter's bulbs are harder, dark green, have very thick cuticle, and the core cannot be peeled out.
