Emergency Flower

I hadn't taken any photos at all today until a few minutes ago, as I just haven't stopped all day. 
I even got a tripod out for this! I had to, as I couldn't hold the camera steady enough.
This is my emergency blip which happens to be a flower (a gerbera actually) from a beautiful mixed spring bunch that a lady at work bought for me yesterday (Tuesday). She felt really bad because no-one in the office had remembered that it was my birthday on Monday until I produced the  cake just after lunch!

P.s. Thanks LadyG for letting me know what the flower is.
