You haven't tried doing macro work with your 6x7 yet, have you? If that 
bloom is any less than 4 inches across, it's a better than 1:2 
magnification. Depending on who owned the plant, I would possibly have done 
some judicious pruning too. The bokeh on that lens is to die for.
I like this as an axample of medium format macro, though it is a somewhat 
extreme example. That is as close to full frame as I could crop from the 
contact sheet.
