This is a closeup of the center of the inflorescence where the flowers are found. I noticed a spec on the bud in the lower left.

Later in the session I made another capture. You might notice the insect on the bud in the lower left. I currently believe that it came from the above mentioned spec. It is a thrips.

As the development of the flowers continued, the buds started opening to expose the flower. I continued photographing the process for several days. The more I worked, the more I could notice the Thrips moving about on it. I made the following video so you could see what I saw. I play it at 12x speed so you won't get bored.
