Individual flowers have parts in fours. There are four smaller outer Sepals, usually Greenish & shed when flower opens. Moving inwards, these are followed by 'four larger Petal-like' inner Sepals, often brightly coloured. Inside Sepals are four true Petals. These may be small & flat, but often have a complex shape including a nectar-producing 'Spur' that may be longer than Sepals. There are four stamens.
