Can't help with the flower ID but this I do like very much... the slight amount of wing blur makes the image.... excellent.

Very nice indeed Dale. Very nice detail in the bee, and as Phil says, the wing blur is great and shows the action well.

Great stuff !
Judging by the stigma/stamen arrangement, it looks like mallow to me.
