Hi Maggi,and thanks.I have about 30 of what I call F acompetala in flower now and they differ from this one.
This one has 2 flowers and there are no markings on the tepals,does this make any difference. bye Ray

These vary enormously, Ray, as do most frits!  :D  Big range of markings  to be seen.

Isn't it wonderful that if someone asks for a frit ID, we can usually say, without even looking at it...F. acmopetala. ;D
