Difference between daffodil and gardenia

1. Differences between bulbs

Narcissus is a plant of the Amaryllis family. One of its more obvious characteristics is that it has a bulb, which is conical or oval in shape.

Gardenia is a plant of the Rubiaceae family. It has no bulb underneath, only roots under the stem.

2. Leaf Difference

The leaves of the former are fleshy, generally flat and flat, about 30-50 cm long and 1-5 cm wide. The leaves are pale green in color, covered with a layer of white frost, and have no petioles. The veins on the surface are parallel.

The leaves of the latter are leathery, and a few are papery. Compared with the leaves of the former, they are shorter in length but wider, and have an irregular shape, usually oblong, about 1.5-8 cm wide, and have petioles.

3. Different flowers

Daffodils usually grow from the top of the bulb. One bulb can produce 1-2 flower stalks, usually with six petals. The main body of the flower is white with yellow in the middle.

Gardenia usually grows alone at the top of the branch. It is usually double-petaled, not just a few petals, and the flower is white.
