I recently got this species from Kusamono Gardens' 2018 import from Japan (Shikoku Garden). They flowered soon after I planted them (3 plants out of 4 flowered) since the plants were already at quite advanced stages (link to the post with photos of the initial condition). To be honest, I'm not sure if I can grow them or if I'll see the flowers again. So I spent a bit of time taking photos. They are small and not too showy, but I think that they are beautiful. Here is a link to a very informative post about this species by Tom.
Note that I "staged" the flower to show the inside, but the flower naturally hangs down below the leaf (see the last whole plant photo).

As a scale, it is potted in a 32oz yogurt container with holes.
