This is my best guess as to identity; might also be something like G. x magnificum, which is a hybrid involving platypetalum.
Flowers shown here have nearly mature stamens, anthers ready to open and shed pollen, while the five stigmatic branches are still tightly bundled with receptive surfaces hidden -- the earlier stage of 'protandrous sequential hermaphroditism', favoring out-crossing over self-pollination (see other photos here for other stages).
