Not common, I would say rare, at least in that area, I saw it for the 1st time. Possibly even some kind of mutant suggested by some botanists....

Don't worry, I couldn't see any reproductive organs so it was lost anyway if it's annual. You can make herbarium if you found the rest of it. :)
Just to inform you: mystery plant was cut down last week, I was so angry cause by searching around a good 2 square km I haven't found anything similar, plus it wasn't picked by someone but cut down with all the grass around...The flower would surely last for another week. So nothing new to add in order to ID this plant :(
I will do my best, tnx for sugg, btw I have touched- it is really elastic, I can't say that for any onter similar size flower and plant like anemones that are growing all around, will post another pic to see it flower from behind.
Make some macro pics if it's possible. See if there are some trichomes, some blossoms (even only stamens or carpels), touch it to see if the leaves are soft. You can take a picture of the underside of the "bloom". Don't know what else to advice you, there must be some distinguishing characteristics in it.
Will keep on monitoring it every day, it is still there but I have seen some tourist picking flowers-was so afraid they may take this, luckily is in shadow and not very visible...was wondering if a sign where is written: Noah monitoring of sth similar like AntónioGinjaGinja is doing, would stop someone from collecting it or I would just make it more visible?
Exactly what Jopy said, she said: I don't know where to start searching for, I have even post is on some forum cause I am so desperate- literally seeing this for the 1st time in my life! ;) And of course it was the only specimen there!
Quite extraordinary! 3 leaves per node, "colored" calyx with many leaves, no visible blossoms. I don't have even the smallest clue what must be. Where there any other white flowering plants near it?
