The blooming period was 2 weeks. Blue flowers with 3 slender petals whose tips are more edged than the standard T. aeranthos. The shape of the flower is similar to that of T. bergeri. 6 stamens and a white pistil are slightly sticked out of petals. Floral bracts are bright red. A flower blooms for a week. Approximately 10 flowers bloom from the bottom side of the inflorescence at intervals of a day, and the inflorescence is in full bloom and showy a week later.
