6 ways to distinguish between lotus and anemone flower ‘standard without adjustment’

Buying lotus back, many people like to play with flowers, but not everyone is familiar with it, distinguishing between lotus and kneeling. The confusion between lotus and kneeling makes many people cry and laugh.

May is the month when the lotus begins. Usually in the middle of May, the first lotus flowers appear. The lotus season lasts about 2 months, so everyone wants to buy a few pots to enjoy before the season ends. However, buying a lotus vase that blooms fragrantly is not easy because there is a flower very similar to a lotus but not a lotus that is often mixed by sellers to trick buyers. Has anyone ever had to kneel and how did it feel at that time, especially when buying a lotus flower to plug in but when taking pictures to show off Facebook, friends were “dumped with cold water” that it was kneeling, not lotus, waiting forever for flowers not bloom. The ‘lotus’ flowers are only forever 17 years old, then wilt and collapse. Why do people buy lotus flowers by mistake? According to the experience of Ms. Vinh Quyen (Hanoi) said: Because kneeling looks a lot like lotus from leaves, stems, and flowers, many people cannot distinguish it. The only difference is that the lotus will bloom and smell nice, and the kneeling will basically not bloom, if it does, it won’t be fragrant. The price of kneeling is much cheaper than lotus, so sellers can mix lotus with kneeling and sell at lotus price. Because of her experience in buying lotus, Ms. Quyen warned: Normally, a bunch of peddlers often mix 50/50 unscrupulous buyers will be deceived. The truth between lotus and kneeling is only the seller who understands the best, and if the buyer is not familiar, of course buys kneeling to become a lotus. Here are Vinh Quyen’s lotus tips to help you choose the right one you want to buy. How to distinguish between lotus and kneeling The anemone flower (left) is dark pink, the buds are longer and more pointed than the lotus flower (right). Color: The lotus will be bright pink, the old people often say that the lotus petals are pink. Litchi dark pink slightly dark. Cotton: The lotus flower is longer and larger than the anemone flower. The cotton head is usually more blunt, seeing the lotus head is often slightly ajar, slightly separating is to see the small inner layer. Kneeling cotton is pointed, without an inner layer, so it is difficult to separate the wings. Lotus blooms and then falls while kneeling in reverse. When buying, hold the flower bouquet and shake it gently, if the petals fall out, you will kneel. Dear: The stem of the lotus plant is straighter, less thorny, the flower stalk is small, when scratched by thorns, it is not as painful as anemone flower. Anemone flower has a rough body, larger than a lotus, with more thorns, so the pickers must wear long clothes when wading into the lagoon to avoid scratching their skin. Incense: The lotus wings are very fragrant, the cloves are not fragrant. Should hold a bunch of lotus flowers to smell the scent, but not kneeling. When it blooms, the lotus is fragrant. When kneeling, it has a pungent aroma. Wing flower: Lotus is thicker than kneeling because lotus has many layers of wings, arranged in descending order while kneeling has only one layer. So one of the tips when buying is to gently squeeze the flower’s head with your hand and see if it’s a bit spongy, it’s probably lotus. Alternatively, slightly separate the cotton head and see if there is a smaller lotus inside and especially with a strong aroma, it is indeed a lotus and vice versa. Lotus leaf: The underside is smooth and hairless, so we use sticky rice and nuggets. Leaves kneeling backwards. Lotus leaves also have a characteristic aroma, not kneeling. When should you buy lotus? Quyen said the best time to buy lotus is in the morning, when the lotus has just been picked. When you get home, don’t plug it right into the vase, but take a bucket of water, put some ice in it, and then plug the lotus bunch into the flower stalk for 4-5 hours for the lotus stem to hydrate and then plug. Lotus leaves, lotus bud, lotus calyx also do the same.
