although the prune and plum blossoms are open when the weather is cold, it is relatively early to bloom, and the plum blossoms will blossom until February. In Wang Anshi's poem, "remote knowledge is not snow, but also for subtle fragrance" is also plum blossom.
both Chimonanthus praecox and plum blossom are opened in cold weather. How can they distinguish between them? In fact, the answer is very simple. The Chimonanthus praecox is yellow, while the plum blossom usually has red, pink and white. Therefore, even if the factors such as flowering time are not considered, it is easy to distinguish Chimonanthus praecox and plum blossom from color. (Photography: the less owner by the Daming Lake)
