You could always try a mirror:  place below the flower, at a slight angle, so you can photograph the reflection of the interior of the flower........ :)
What a simple, clever idea Maggi. Why didn't I think of that?

Maggi, does this speak of too many wild nights out on Union Street?  ;)

Neither did I, Ron. Congratulations!
I think it may have appeared in our late, lamented previous forum archive. :-\ :'(

The Bulgarians think enough of it to give it a stamp:

I don't think so, Ron... it "looks" quite old fashioned... I found it on a Japanese website so I'm none the wiser.  :-[

I like these floral stamps.

Yes, me too !!
Interestingly the best one I have is of Pinguicula ramosa with a bronze medal of same and substantial literature about such. Sent to me many years ago from a Japanese friend in my Pinguicula days. I treasure it very very highly.  ;D ;D

Sadly the stamps are just about the only pictures I have ever seen of Bulgarian F.stribrnyi.

I haven't seen them here [the stamps] and I don't think the Post Office do First Day Covers either- so you'd have to check online auctions.
