This is very under rated IMHO. The pattern is unmistakable and the composition is what really sells me on this shot. This is such a textbook example of the rule of thirds. You might want to try using curves to add medium-strong contrast on this and perhaps a little more saturation to make it really pop. Still, I really can't understand why so many people voted below 5 unless there are just that many that don't understand what a pattern is.

Nice shot. Much better than the voters gave it.

The waxy quality of these flowers adds a nice dimension. You will probably get comments about the colors, but I think that you have done a good job.

Nice idea, I think a larger dof would work for me a little better

It's funny how all of the flowers are in the same position.
Nice timing for a picture.

I wonder what this would be like as a square crop.

Not sure if this is really a pattern, since these things grow where the seeds randomly fall. I suppose it is a pattern by some definitions, though. I do like it a lot. Composition and DOF work great here.

I like how this picture is bichromatic.

good use of thirds, the backlighting works well too.

kind of a boring subject, nothing very interesting to looke at.

The blury background kind of distracts me from the main flower almost
