Lesser periwinkle

Having looked through a very old AA book of the British Countryside (1973)  I think this is a Lesser and not a Greater Periwinkle as the lesser is approx 1" and the greater is 2" and these are 1 1/2" so they are in the middle of the both of them (confused so am i ).Right these were taken at F6.3 at 1/200 sec with a max aperture of 3.6 and an ISO of 400 ,what i wanted was to get the centre of the flower sharp as when you pass them in the hedge rows you dont notice the inside of the flower which on closer inspection are very complexed indeed.This first shot has the centre sharp but i have not got the whole flower in the shot which is what i wanted.





For the last two shots i changed the settings to get more in the shot and too get more in focus so i changed the f stop to f/11 and the shutter speed down to 1/30 sec on a tripod with the vr turned off with a max aperture 3.5 and this last shot is what i wanted a sharp image with good colour and a semi blurred background .
