Gorgeous. I especially like the angle you chose; it shows off all the curving, unfolding lines to perfection. Other points I admire: the lighting, the non-distracting, blurred background, the closeness, the focus, the fact that you chose a perfect bloom, not one with brown spots or bugs, and it's in a nice stage of bloom, not wilting.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I've just recalibrated my monitor and this is the first image opened on the new settings: absolutely beautiful!!! The colours sing with luminence and clarity. Good one, Ted!
