All flowers in this genus have five lobes and they are bell-shaped, they may also be described as funnel-shaped. They have vivid colors which are often contrasting in the same flower. Some of the flowers are glossy, others wrinkled, and still others matte depending on the species in question. Flower colors are typically combinations of red, yellow, or brown.
