    The light brown and white flowers of Drimia convallarioides are cup-shaped with round-tipped tepals glistening from water cells on their surfaces. The central, longitudinal brown tepal bands grade into the white of the lateral parts inside, also sometimes to the upper parts on the outside.

    Drimia flowers usually last for about one day. Various insects, including bees and butterflies pollinate the flowers (Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; https://www.botanicalrealm.com).
