Sadly this is suffering motion blur. From what I can tell the focus and DOF seem fine. I might have taken this holding the camera the other way. The stem seems not so interesting as the missing petals. The colors are spectacular! Awesome subject and I hope you find an opportunity for a retake.

If you can (re)move the subject to a natural but less windy location and use a tripod. I've made some tries at steadying flowers with a laundry hanger. Just straighten it out and clip it short enough to be of use. Poke it in the ground and use a small rubber band to clamp the stem to the other end. Make sure to clamp down beyond the where you are taking the shot.

Here's an idea that has worked well in the windy springtime:

Excellent Idea. I'll make sure to try this when it gets warmer.
