[edit] Flowers:
 |
 |
 Some plants have flowers which are strongly margined with maroon-purple |
 |
 Hellebore flowers normally have no true petals: the apparent petals are sepals or "tepals" |
 If the flower is opened, the tubular nectaries can be seen behind the pollen-bearing stamens |
 The horn-shaped nectaries are petals which have been transformed into tubes to hold nectar |
 Stamens and nectaries soon drop, allowing the carpels to swell with fertile seed |
