A tiny tiny flower and stamen

We're not sure of the botanical name but we call it gyp, this tiny flower is only about 4mm and I was trying to get the stamen in focus trust me when I say this stamen is around 1/2 a mm maybe even smaller,comments and suggestions welcome I used flash with a new diffuser I made from a Pringles tube.
This any better my flash was on man 1/16 power output.

Tiny! Good subject for focus-stacking, to capture entire bloom in focus.
You could use a bit of exposure increase, via higher ISO, or wider aperture, or increased speedlight output.
