The colors and shapes of the petals are beautiful and I like the green leaves surrounding the flower. I kind of don't like the look of this insect on the flower but it does illustrate your point about photographing the flower before the insects damaged it.

That is one gaudy flower, Albert. The colors are dramatic with a fine glow from the soft light. They are set off very well by the green leaves.

Albert - Terrific shot with bold colors. The tiny insect adds a very nice touch.

I agree with Ram. I like the gaudy colors and the touch the insect adds.
