The difference between golden bud flower and shrimp flower

Different flowers

The flowers of the goldenrod are golden yellow, and the inflorescence is a bit like a tower, standing upright. There will be many golden scaly inflorescence tissues on the inflorescence, and then white petals will grow. The golden bract flower blooms in spring and autumn. As long as new branches grow, new inflorescences will grow at the top of the branches, and it will bloom when the temperature is suitable. The inflorescence of the shrimp flower is a bit like a rice ear. The inflorescence will droop. The bracts on the inflorescence are brick red or yellowish brown, covered with soft hairs, and the flowers are white and extend out of the bracts. Shrimp lilies can bloom all year round.

Different leaves

The leaves of the golden bract flower are oval, opposite, bright green in color, with very obvious veins, a relatively hard texture, and wavy edges. The leaves of the shrimp flower are oval, the color of the leaves is lighter, similar to yellow-green, there are thin hairs on the leaves, and the leaves are relatively soft.

The plant of the golden bud flower is generally 30-50 cm tall. It is an evergreen herb. The nodes of the golden bud flower are relatively obvious, swollen and protruding. The whole plant is very upright, and the stem of the golden bud flower is square. The plant of Shrimp Flower is relatively tall in comparison, reaching 1-2 meters in height.
