Tiny flower

I tried to take this pic yesterday of this flower. It's about the size of the zero on a cell phone. I mean it's tiny. I just could not seem to get a clear pic of it. Any suggestions? I tried all of the macro lenses I have. I believe the last one used was either a .4 or .04 :shrug: HELP!

Ok, lets start by answering a few questions.

What lens did you use, what shutter speed, and how far away was the camera from the flower???

What aperture as well?

Is this the same kind of flower? I shot this the other day but I have a "super macro" mode on my S3 --I also have a macro attachment--maybe I can try it and see what it takes. They really are tiny but very intricate little things.

Mouse,
You sure didn't miss by much.
I'm just getting started, but I found the auto focus doesn't work well with Macro, nor my zoom lens.
I ended up using the M switch on my lens, getting close with the focus ring and then physically moving the camera back and forth (exhaling and inhaling) for fine focus.
And maybe try to get more perpendictular to the blossom.
