It is strange for me, of all people, to be saying this, but I feel you've tried to get more into this picture than is really necessary. The most beautiful element is that bright pink flower against the dark tree trunk. If only the light had reached others of the pink flowers, too... I don't think the out-of-focus branches to the left and right of the main trunk contribute anything, and would have trimmed them away. But that chord of pink against the trunk, with the eggshell blue sky beyond, is SO beautiful.
