Inside A Flowers Glow

I took this photo while in Alphabet City, Manhattan, New York, inside of the Secret Garden.  There were many flowers exposing themselves in many different angles.  I was shooting with a Canon 5D mark II and my Canon FD 50mm 3.5f Macro lens.

I placed myself into the mindset of a bee.  I started to wonder what it would look like if I were not only looking into a flower, but looking into a flower from below the flower and into it's natural hanging (drooping) state.  I realized the interior of the flower still captures sunlight, although it's not facing directly into the sun.  As you can see the petals help illuminate the interior of the flower.
