Claim: Melaleuca dichroma pale yellow to creamy-white flowers appear in the spring, with flowers grouped into threes on each head, with their color fading to pinkish-red petals, which fall off as the flowers age.
Evidence: The flowers appear in spring and are initially pale yellow to creamy-white but fade to pinkish-red. The flowers are arranged in heads near the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering, sometimes in the upper leaf axils. The petals are 0.8–1.2 mm (0.03–0.05 in) long and fall off as the flowers age.
