Apple Blossom, a perennial tree of the apple family Rosaceae, is an annual weed of the Solanaceae, Rosaceae family, with a white trumpet shape, particularly fond of growing in warm places.

The flowers have five petals and are plum-shaped.

Apple blossom tea can prevent high blood pressure and the apple phenol also inhibits allergic reactions and has a certain anti-allergic effect.

So how do you make a cup of apple blossom tea?

1. Dried petals, brewed in a cup of boiling hot water and simmered for about ten minutes.

2. Brown sugar or honey can be added as appropriate to drink.

But it is not suitable for pregnant women.

Many people confuse apple blossoms with begonias, but although the two flowers are similar, a closer look will reveal that they are different.

Firstly, the main branches of begonias are smooth, whereas the branches of apple blossoms are rougher, so if you look closely you will be able to tell the difference.

From the colour, the buds of the apple flower are reddish when they are not open, but slowly change from pink to white after flowering.

The begonias have pinkish-purple buds when they are not open, but after they open they are pink and a little more vivid than the apple flower.

Judging by the flower stalks. Begonias have much smaller fruits than apples, and because they have to carry heavier fruits, the pedicels of apple flowers are much shorter than those of begonias.

And both have a short fuzz on their pedicels, but the fuzz on apple pedicels is more dense than that of begonias.

The apple flower inflorescence is a three-branched cymose.

In layman's terms this means that the middle flower buds open first and the marginal buds open later.

Apple flower inflorescences are usually 5-8.

Begonia inflorescences are umbels where all the flower buds flower together, growing upwards in clusters, and the inflorescence is usually 4-7.

Also begonias have larger flowers that grow before the leaves and are larger than the leaves when in flower.

Distinguish by the leaves.

And begonia's leaf length is generally in 5-8 cm, wide for about 2-3 cm, for the elliptical after to long elliptical, front acuminate or rounded, the base is wide cuneate or subrounded, the edge has serrate, young is have pubescent, later will fall off.

And apple's leaf for the elliptical or ovate after to wide elliptical, but compare the flowering period of apple and begonia, relatively the former is broader, about 4.5-10 cm and about 3-5.5 cm wide.

The apex is acute and the base is broadly cuneate or rounded, also serrate.
