Patti, I just counted the petals of the three flowers on the same F.palidiflora. The full one has 10, the second 8 and the third 7. The other palidiflora, one of its two flowers opened up, has only 6 and must be the normal amount of flowerpetals. Took a pict. of it in between pouring rains alternated with hail, the day started very dark, but now the sky is clearing up..
Wallaby, another difference with ssp. wendelboi from the 'freespace site' is that at least in my case acmopetala has much longer flowerstems (about 25cm tall) and the flowers appear to be more elongated.
Thanks for the EV suggestion, I finally found out what it is in my manual which is in Dutch. I must try it out once.

Pic of the 'normal' F.palidiflora; the flower petals stand out more wide than its neighbours.
