The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs from January to April and the flowers are creamy white.
