[edit] The photograph

More possible correcting; the current photo on the article page is of a plant that is often found in cultivation, but usually then called L. maculatus BREITFELD. The one usually found as bertholetii has flowers that are more reddish, and finer leaves. Whether they are different species, or subspecies, I don't know. Imc 19:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
