    Antimima paripetala flower

    Antimima paripetala flower
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Judd Kirkel Welwitch

    Antimima paripetala flowers grow solitary with small bracts on the pedicels. The flowers are white or pale pink, the short, spreading petals grouped by interference from the six sepals. The cone of stamens, erect in the flower centre, is surrounded by staminodes.

    Flowering mostly happens late in autumn and in winter.

    The red-rimmed leaf-tips are bent back towards the keel and the leaf-pairs fused at the base (Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist).
