The difference between four seasons orchid and black orchid

1. Leaf Difference

The leaves of the four-season orchid are 20 to 65 cm long and about 1 to 2.6 cm wide. The leaves are green or dark green in color and have a shiny surface. The base of the leaf is relatively narrow, the leaf surface is fish belly-shaped, the tip of the leaf is pointed or blunt, the surface is thinly leathery, and the leaf surface is flat.

There are 3 to 5 leaves of Mo Lan, which are ribbon-shaped, nearly thin and leathery. The leaves are dark green in color, about 45 to 80 cm long, about 2 to 3 cm wide, and have a shiny surface.

2. Flower Differences

Four-season orchids usually have 5 to 7 flowers, with a diameter of about 4.5 to 7 cm. The color of the flowers is yellow-green or light red. The lip is 1.5 to 2.5 cm long and is long oval.

The scape of Mo Lan emanates from the base of the stem, in a raceme, with 10 to 20 flowers. The colors of the flowers include dark purple, purple-brown, yellow-green, pink and white. The petals are nearly narrowly ovate, 2 to 2.7 cm long.
