Abstract: The study of the context of different kinds of massive stars ('apples' and 'tomatoes') can provide insights on their evolutionary status. Useful constraints on the models can be obtained provided that visual and bolometric magnitudes of the different components are carefully determined. Here, evidence is reviewed that massive stars spend their short lives in tight clusters. Reddening determinations and bolometric corrections for these stars are briefly examined.
