Thanks for the great comments,I'm glad you enjoyed it.I'll share this secret,I shadowed the blossom from the bright sunlight with my head and it seemed to darken the color a bit.

Oh my, Whittler this is a beauty! The color is so vivid and the vantage you took is really pleasing to view. The clarity is outstanding for this macro. (Art, Whittler rarely shares his secrets of greatness) LOL

Great capture. Did you use fill light to punch up the color of the bloom?
