The detail captured here is simply incredible, Jack. I could almost reach in and stroke the flower, so delicate and beautifully observed.

A gorgeous blossom with all those lovely shades of pinks and near reds. Wonderful detail in the stamen.
I like how you left some of the background visible as a setting for the flower. Beautiful image.

Wonderful capture of this beautiful flower, you sure seem to have some nice plants growing in your backyard
As for my shot today it was a closeup of a iron railing fence

@JJ: Now that you admit it, that actually was what I thought was, but that seemed a little too obvious. No guts, no glory.

The flowers you've done over the past few days are all good, but this one is exceptional! I love the depth and the deep background color and the way the little yellow parts (believe it or not I was once a bio major and can't remember what those things are called) stand out.
