This flower has a blotch instead of the distinctive cross on the staminodal shield. I'm not a taxonomist, but I showed the photo to one and he agreed that it is likely a hybrid.
Still a very attractive flower!

Oh, yes, I have read that sometimes people say that the blotch has a "spider-shape". Oh, indeed, after all I find it lovely.

Thanks!
 
UPDATE

The second flower is similar. Thanks for all your replies!
