Dahlia 'Pooh' originated at Swan Island Dahlias in Canby, Oregon in 1998. (About 2.8 km from my front door).

Bumblebees love them!

Very interesting that they are from your neck of the woods.
 
Thanks Hali. It was handheld. I was outside attempting to shoot some bees, wasps and other small critters in our garden. Since I posted this picture, you can correctly assume that I wasn't very successful in terms of bugs. :ROFLMAO:.

I had shot some at my normal macro aperture of f14, but the background was too busy. So I switched to f2.8 and took 8-10 shots, each focussed on a different part of the flower and then let Photoshop align them as layers and then blend them. It did the hard work, I only pushed the button.
