A Lampranthus stenopetalus flower has five fleshy sepals below the corolla of narrow petals spreading and ascending in a few whorls. Flower colour is deep to lighter pink and magenta.
The flower centre is yellow from the dense cluster of yellow-anthered stamens. The nectar glands in the flower base are not seen because of the stamens present, but the pollinators behave as if they have an inkling that the juice is available here.
Flower diameter is about 2,5 cm (Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist; Wikipedia; https://asknature.org).
