It's interesting that all four plants seem to be missing their petals. Were there others like this around?

Interesting. The ends of the sepals are quite rounded which makes me think of C. pusillus. It would be helpful to know the size of the flowers. I wonder if the sepals and petals have been fused.

Yes, I wondered about that too. It's still strange that they would all be doing exactly the same thing.
