So Amadeus and Hyacinthus get a little bit from their mom's side and their dad's side, aka me. Well Amadeus is a dicot and Hyacinthus is a monocot. Does this mean we love one more than the other? Of course not! Let me explain the differences between the two along with some relatives that they also seem to get their looks from.
