Yellow-green flowers appear from late winter to late spring between August and November. The axillary inflorescences are on unbranched strap-like peduncles that are around 7 cm (2.8 in) long. Each inflorescence has between seven and twenty flowers. That buds are sessile with a fused hypanthia. The buds have a length of about 5.5 cm (2.2 in) with a diameter of about 2 cm (0.79 in), are scarred and have a horn-shaped operculum.
