User's notes

Lots of Pale lemon flowers with 4 petals and light lime green centre’s set on the stem just like orchids. Light lemon coloured flower petals with a cluster of pale lime coloured stamens. The back of the petals look as though they’ve been lightly brushed with a dark red-brown. The red-brown also appears on the base of each flower stem. Flowers are born on long spindly stems prostrate on the ground and others that have grown up and cascaded over other dry foliage of a different plant. Leaves are green and very small.

Flowers look like those of a clematis (parasitic climber). :)
