This is not a familiar flower for me.  Nice composition, detail and color saturation.

Very pretty blooms and a great grouping of them, Graham.  I like the colors too.  I think you could brighten up the shot some and it would work even better.

If I have the ID right these are pretty small blooms - you've rendered them beautifully, Graham. Crystal clarity in the centres and some fine detail in the petals.  Like Nathan, I would brighten it a touch, but lovely as is.

Sharp detail. A good grouping. I agree, brighter would be better.

A lovely composition, Graham.  Interesting looking flower cluster and I like the lighting.  My only nit is that the right hand petal of the left hand flower goes oof at the tip and it keeps drawing my eye, probably because the rest of the two foreground flowers are in such crisp focus.
