The difference between orchid and amaryllis

Different genera

Different genera

For the former, it belongs to the genus Amaryllis; while for the latter, it belongs to the genus Amaryllis. It is precisely because of their different categories that there are many differences between them.

Dual Lan

Different appearance

The first is the difference in the number of their flowers. Under normal circumstances, the first type of plants has two opposite plants, and no more than three at most; however, the second type of plants usually has about four, and can even reach six at most. Therefore, in comparison, the flowers of the latter are more opposite.

Then there is the difference between their flowers, which we can also see if we observe carefully. The flowers of the second type are magenta with a hint of green, and there are small scales at the throat, but this is not the case with the first type.

Amaryllis

The language of flowers is different

< p>The flower language of the first plant is "desire to be loved", and the flower language of the second plant is "pursuit of love". We can compare it. The former flower language contains a kind of despair, which is just "desire". It only has this idea and does not pursue it through its own efforts. The latter one is quite different. It contains the meaning of hope, full of hope, pursuing your own love, rather than hoping in vain and doing nothing.
