It looks as if the zone of focus is more the question.
If you enlarge the area to the right of the flower to the green leaf it appears sharper than the flower. Also, the depth of the focus should be increased to bring sharpness to the front and through to the flower leafs. Suggest using a tripod if possible.
Easy for me to say, eh.
Thanks for looking. I did use a tripod. And I think I found out what is going on (some of it anyway). Regarding focus, I used a cable release and just stood back and shot after I focused. What happened is my lens was creeping I think. I had the tripod and a height that put the camera/lens on an angle of about 60 degrees. (This morning the lens was fully extended after being left in position over night).
