The difference between Magnolia grandiflora and Magnolia grandiflora

the difference

First of all, I would like to popularize some basic knowledge about white magnolia. The fact that white magnolia has become the city flower of Shanghai shows how popular it is. Magnolia grandiflora is not to be outdone and is widely loved by Changzhou citizens, so it has been named the city tree of Changzhou. It is a plant of the genus Magnolia in the Magnoliaceae family. Both flowers are very ornamental and can be used as medicine. In addition, because the names are similar and the flower colors are the same, it is possible that many flower lovers cannot remember them. Below, we will distinguish between these two flowers.

Distinguish by appearance

First of all, the leaves of the two plants are different. The front and back of the leaves of white magnolia are almost the same and there seems to be no difference. However, the difference between the front and back of the leaves of Magnolia grandiflora can be clearly seen. The front of the leaves of Magnolia grandiflora are smooth and shiny, but the back is covered with brown hairs. In addition, the colors of the leaves of the two species are also slightly different. The leaves of white magnolia are slightly lighter in color than those of grandiflora, while the leaves of grandiflora are dark green in color. The colors of the flowers are also a little different. Although they are both white, the white magnolia has pink stalks underneath the flowers, while the grandiflora is pure white. In addition, the flowers of Magnolia grandiflora are larger than those of Magnolia white.

Differentiation by flowering period

Magnolia grandiflora is evergreen all year round. The white magnolia will shed its leaves in autumn and winter, and its flowering period is in March every spring. The flowering period of Magnolia grandiflora is from May to July when spring and summer turn.

In addition, there are still many differences between the two flowers. The editor selected two points for comparison. I wonder if flower lovers can distinguish them this time.
