Unfortunately no idea on the species of flower - it was a post-delivery gift to the wife for #3. I just call it the pretty red flower. Sorry. Perhaps a botanist or enthusiast in the field could chime in here...
Lol
Its a nice lens

Here are 2 images showing its paintlike bokeh when used wide open with a 21mm tube. The DOF is very very thin so to get a good focus is almost impossible but it does create some dreamlike images.
I did mail my ol mum about that flower. Shes a botanist enthusiast and might find the name of it.
BOTH taken with the Tamron SP 35-80 f2.8-3.8 with an extension tube of 21mm + flash. Camera = Pentax Kx.
Only some minor PP in lightroom and Photoshop to try to fix a little bit better sharpness + minor noise reduction.
On the Ladybug I also tried to separate the green from the yellow to make the bug stand out a bit more.
There wasnt really any DOF to focus on so its quite blurry but I like it. Full frame, no crop.
This one is unfortunatly from behind. He/she did not like my flash
Also full frame.
