In order to better distinguish the two kinds of flowers, we will take stock of the differences between them.

I. The difference of their designs and colors:

1. Rieger Begonia: this kind of flower is a new variety which is hybridized by different varieties of Begonia, so its gene composition is very complex, so it has a variety of colors, and the changes are complex.
