I think this is quite an improvement over the first two you posted. Flowers, like this, are challenging because it takes a long focal length to get everything into focus. The Stamens are OOF, but other areas look pretty good, to me. You might try closing down the aperture a bit more to get a bigger focal length. I think you should be able to do this and still have the blurred BG.

Good lighting is a huge part of image quality. Direct light can cause a loss of detail that exacerbates focusing issues. I'd love to see what you could get shooting this flower with softer light and perhaps a reflector. I'm not much help because I use natural light, exclusively and don't have much experience.

Edit to add: I think a less centered composition might give it a boost, too.
