An extraordinary six-petaled Brom flower !

As I know, all Bromeliads have 3 petals with 3 calyx, but I found an exception

on a Dyckia 'Toothy' x 'Richad Kaz' 's flower which bloomed in my collection.

I think I found the reason, when comparing to the normal 3 petaled flowers,

which have 6 stamens, the 6 petaled flower has only 3.

The bloomer.
