The difference between yellow orchid and white orchid

The difference between flowers:

They have great differences in flowers, which is also their biggest difference.

Yellow orchid: The flower is yellow in color, blooms from June to July, and has a particularly strong fragrance, which is extremely similar to the fragrance of osmanthus; its flower is smaller than that of white orchid; its flower is composed of 15 to 20 petals.

White orchid: The flower is white and blooms from April to September. Its flowering period is relatively long and early. Its fragrance is slightly lighter, but still stronger than other fragrances. Its flower is slightly larger in size; its flower consists of 10 petals.

Fruit difference:

The fruiting period of yellow orchid is from September to October, and it is very easy to bear fruit; while it is difficult for white orchid to bear fruit. This is also the most obvious difference between them.

Plant height difference:

Yellow orchid can grow up to about 10 meters tall, but white orchid can grow up to 17 meters tall. But this difference is difficult to detect, after all, the heights we are breeding now are almost the same.

The difference between leaves:

Yellow orchid: The leaves are relatively shorter, ranging from 10 cm to 20 cm in length, and the petiole is relatively long, ranging from 2 cm to 4 cm. The stipule scar can reach above the middle of the petiole.

White orchid: The leaves are longer than those of yellow orchid, ranging from 10 cm to 27 cm, but its petiole is shorter, ranging from 1.5 cm to 2 cm, half the length of yellow orchid, and the stipule scar can reach the middle of the petiole.

In daily cultivation, we can only distinguish them from their leaves, but we have to observe carefully!
