Green Shores

Sea-blite flowers are an example of a minimalist flower. Sepals only, no petals, 5 stamen with pollen and 2 stigmas.
It must work as the plants are generally annuals and return from seed each year. I'm constantly amazed that these plants inundated by the tide have flowers and are successfully pollinated.
Not sure if this qualifies for though?

Close up of a plant stem held by a thumb and finger. The stem has fleshy leaves and flowers without petals. The 5 stamen around the outside are holding the pollen and the style where the pollen from another plant will hopefully land is in the centre.
