I would suggest trying, in the future, to go to ISO 200 or 400, and stop down a couple of stops, to get more of the flower head in focus. I find that I am using f/10 for many of my closeups, to avoid this sort of thing. That may be too extreme for you, but you might try some compromise. Just my 2 cents.
