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
