An interesting flower and you have captured the striations and ruffles. The foliage is very much incidental to the flowe, and as such the photo is at a distinct disadvantage in this challenge. I would urge you to explore different framings - get down low, level with the flower, shoot upwards, across, try with more of the environment included in the frame.
