What is the difference between Cosmos and Gesang flowers? A quick guide to telling the two flowers apart
Speaking of Cosmos, many people may find it unfamiliar, but if you say it has another name, Persian chrysanthemum, many people will know it. Speaking of Cosmos, many people think it is a Gesang flower, but in fact, there are differences between them. Below we introduce the differences between Cosmos and Gesang flowers.
1. The difference between Cosmos and Gesang flowers
Cosmos can be called a Gesang flower, but a Gesang flower is not necessarily Cosmos. There is no unified botanical identification for Gesang flowers. Plants of the genus Cosmos such as Cosmos, plants of the genus Aster and China aster, and plants of the genus Potentilla in the Rosaceae family such as shrubby cinquefoil can all be called Gesang flowers, while Cosmos is only one kind of Gesang flower, so the two are in an inclusive relationship.
2. What does Cosmos look like?
Cosmos, also called Cosmos bipinnatus, Persian chrysanthemum, autumn cherry, broom flower, broom flower, broom flower, large spring chrysanthemum, and German Gesang flower, is an annual or perennial herb of the genus Cosmos in the Asteraceae family, 1-2 m tall; the stem is hairless or slightly pubescent, and the leaves are linear or filiform-linear; the flower heads are solitary, with ligulate flowers purple-red, pink, or white, and the ligules oval-obovate.
3. What does the Gesang flower symbolize?
The Gesang flower is regarded by Tibetan people as a holy flower symbolizing love and good fortune. In the long course of Tibetan history, the Gesang flower has existed as a spiritual presence in the hearts of Tibetan people, becoming a symbol of their pursuit of happiness, good fortune, and beautiful emotions. It is beautiful but not delicate, and it is often used as a synonym for describing strong women. Because it loves the sunlight of the plateau and is not afraid of severe cold, wind, and frost, it is regarded as a wildflower with the most tenacious vitality on the plateau.
