    The difference between flattery and admiration is I think, Sincerity! A flattery can be, or is usually insincere with the intent of some gain, whereas admiration is pure and sincere without any gains!

    Undeserved admiration and that out of context is flattery. Generally, we admire in absence and flatter in presence of concerned person.

    Admiration is which does not expect in return but flattery is a thing which expects some thing from others

    Amdmiration is a serious thing which comes from heart and flattery is a thing which comes from the greedy feeling to get something from others so they do drama by flattering

    It can be both. Usually, for flattering we may require a lot of sentences to be made fit into the situation. But for true admiration, even just a word can reach the other person's heart at the bottom, because true words are born from the bottom of our heart and it can travel more distance with full magnitude.

    Admiration is a quality which is genuinely present in an individual.....however flattery is something which is not possessed by any individual but still you talk about it.....
