NOTES | Broad,
relatively flat leaves often marked brightly with red, purple or yellow
pigments which serve to protect the green photosynthetic tissues from sunburn
and through selective breeding and hybridization thousands of cultivars in

inflorescences of these plants form in the shallow central depression - the
"cup" - of the plant, which often fills partway with water, through
which the flowers bloom. |
