Ken, This is beautiful. I love the colors! The grooved, diagonal blur really adds a feeling of motion. Interesting idea to move the flower.
Beautiful colors and blur. Can you share your camera exif./ I like the diagonal lines and your OOTB technique.:)

I was out shooting bugs and did this on a whim so these really aren't the settings I would have used had I been out specifically shooting blurs. Normally I would use a lower ISO and smaller aperture to get a longer exposure. Honestly I was surprised it came out so nice. :D
Ken, the colors are beautiful and I like the grooves. Great idea and it did come out nicely:)

Ditto all of the positives above. Here is an alternative crop (cropping only from the bottom) that you might consider.
Then I realized that taking some off the top while maintaining the somewhat pano crop might be even stronger :)
It will be interesting to see what others think.
Artie, I like your first crop the best-the top portion that seems pinched together adds interest IMO.
Thanks for the suggestions, Artie. There are lots of options for something like this. :)
Love these colors!! Nice lines.
Like all the crops. The colours and feel on this on are really nice.
