Default Help Pleae - flower identity

Hi all,

This is my first post on here and would appreciate any advice as to what
type of flower this is.
Does anyone know what type of flower this is:

The flower is only about 2-1/2 inches long and creamy white.
It has 3 little stamens, each with black tips but one of them has three tiny
white 'orchid shaped petals' for the want of a better word, I guess to catch
the pollen. The flower has 6 petals in all, three tallish ones at the back
and three small ones in the front which have mauve tips. The back ones do
not and are 1cm at the widest part and the front ones are only 1/2cm at the
widest part.

Thanks for looking.
