drP, now that you point it out. I think it looks more like C. communis. The darker coloration in the center of the sterile anthers (C. erecta seems to be solid yellow)... the single small white petal (C. erecta seems to have 2 there)... at least according to the photos I'm seeing online.

I'll have to add some better pictures soon!

Beautiful flower. Can you help me distinguish this from C. communis? I have no idea.
