A beauty, Bill, and in good repair. Excellent bg and good detail. I could wish a slightly better angle CCW to bring the stigma into full focus, but a rare beauty, nonetheless.

The glow of the stamen and surroundings is outstanding, Bill. Your work to fill the frame with this flower looks great as well.

Wow Bill. Another beautiful photo. I might try to clone out the bright bud fragment in the lower left of the frame. Excellent.

I'm not sure about the "purity" aspect. I thought flowers were all about sex
Regardless, I like the tight composition and the surprising textures in the petals.
