I defer to others for names in most cases so keep that in mind :)!

OK....I get it now....the little bugger ate the spiky petals!....Sorry must have been asleep earlier, or something.

Great colors and DOF. Like the flower detail and the vine atop the stalk. These look like a hummingbird trio drinking from the stalk.
