” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Sorry, I don't recognize this subject.
I do recognize a stacking artifact in the image, though -- the background is noisy. Probably portions of the flower are noisy also, but it's harder to see there.
All of the current pyramid methods accumulate noise in regions with no fine detail.
Subjects like this one often benefit from retouching, to replace the background with pixels from either an original input frame or a depth-mapped composite.
In this particular case, it would be especially easy to work with the input frame that has the edge of the flower in focus. That way there wouldn't be any halos to deal with.

No ideas from anyone!

Colour is correct for a buttercup, but note how small this flower is.
Hint: this flower is from a Monocotyledon plant (flower parts in multiples of 3); buittercups are Dicotyledons (flowers in multiples of 4 or 5)

No, not an Orchid.
I guess this was too difficult, even for the botanists.
It is one of several hundred flowers on our indoor palm tree.
In this photo:
HERE
each yellow ball is one flower.
