Last Updated: 2024/09/19, These are two fundamentally different flowers. Although the former has an orchid character, it belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae and its characteristics are completely different from those of orchids. The latter is Orchidaceae, including many kinds of orchids.

First, the gentleman orchid

1. It is a very beautiful flower, so many people will buy it and put it at home for decoration. Its flowers are umbrella-shaped, there are 6 petals, the shape will be the same, generally orange series, with 6 stamens

2. There is a large bulb at the bottom, which looks like an onion. It belongs to Amaryllidaceae, Orchidaceae, from southern Africa, is perennial, generally can grow 30-50 days of flowers, often winter and early spring flowers, New Year's Day also have the opportunity to grow flowers.

3. It is afraid of the sun that is too strong and exciting, and the cooler area is the most suitable for its growth. Don't put it in the area where the temperature is too high, its flowers and leaves are very beautiful, which can be used to watch the leaves as well as the flowers.

2. Orchids

1. The orchid is generally epiphytic or grows on the ground. It has many leaves, generally growing at the bottom or lower part of the pseudobulb, shaped like a lanceolate or oval shape, and its base generally has a lot of broad sheaths that grow around the pseudobulb and have joints.

2, its inflorescence is racemose, there are many flowers, all kinds of colors, very beautiful, its planting history is very long, the place of origin is our country, has survived in our country for more than a thousand years, many literati will praise it.

Third, whether the former belongs to the latter

1. The characteristics of the former and the latter are fundamentally different, so they are not the same species, the former is Amaryllidaceae, the latter is Orchidaceae, their species and genera are different.

2. So they are two different plants. The former does not belong to the latter at all. Many people will misunderstand that if there is a blue character in the former, it has a species-genus relationship with the latter. In fact, they have nothing to do with their names.
