Asparagus declinatus flowers

Tiny cream or white Asparagus declinatus flowers, sometimes with a little green, may be seen from midwinter to spring. The nodding flowers grow solitary from axils at the nodes where the cladodes emerge.

The oblong tepals with pointed tips are fused at the base. The tepals recurve in fully opened flowers, in picture not or not yet on some flowers. A greyish line is sometimes visible down the centre of each tepal.

The prominent orange anthers protrude above the flower centre. They are sometimes closely together, presented to insect world on straight filaments (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
