The problem here, for me, is that the sharp stigma are surrounded by the very soft stamen of similar color. The out-of-focus pink petal I like. So perhaps one frame of the stigma and stamen at f22 or f32 blended with another of the petal at f14 or even wider?

Love this species. Had one in our backyard at our old house.
