Bulbine frutescens flowering white

Bulbine frutescens flowers are orange or white, apart from the much-seen yellow ones. In each flower seen here the six white tepals are angled back, brown lined from base to tip, the lines visible on both surfaces. The tepals veer away from the fluffy yellow filaments of the stamens erect in the flower centre.

The fruits low down in the racemes where flowering happened first, are by now facing down. They appear heavy for their curved pedicels. The open flowers in the mid-section of the racemes point outwards on about straight pedicels, their pollinators adapted to negotiate vertical landing sites.

The dull-looking buds, erect at the top of the racemes, have pedicels that curve up. The oblong bud bodies are progressively smaller and more densely together nearer the raceme tips (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
