 10-Calceolaria flowers

[FMP-field: image]
The flowers of the genus Calceolaria have the lower lip of the corolla inflated to form a sack-like structure. Most species of Calceolaria are native to the mountains of Chile and Argentina. Calceolarias are sometimes cultivated as florist's potted plants.
