Dan, when faced with harsh light like that, and something you really want to shoot, I'd suggest using something to diffuse the light. I have some circular cloth diffusers, not very expensive, that can be propped or hand held that will greatly soften the light. But you could use almost any piece of white cloth, just as long as it can shield your subject from direct sun rays.

Thanks, Rick.

Yes, it is a bit harsh.  The flowers that are accessible tend to be
those in the brightest light.  I just processed this quickly, and, as
you suggest, I need to process it a bit.

I like it, Dan, but the light is a bit harsh, and parts of the flower (especially in the center) look blown out. Did you shoot in RAW so that you can recover some highlights?

Cheers,

Rick
