The plant produces one to three (rarely up to five) nodding blue flowers with egg-shaped, green-tipped sepals 10–16 mm (0.4–0.6 in) in length. The petals are egg-shaped and 8–9 mm long, with a broad, slightly incurved nectar spur of 6–7 mm length. The anthers are yellow and the stamens extend beyond the end of the petals.
