Plenty of light, low contrasts, sharp and soft at the same time: there is all for a pictorial photo with pastel like colors; or almost all: have you tried to low the color saturation? Just for a try John. Anyway I love the photo as it is.

A lovely composition, John, and you have a sweet bg.  Listening to Gigi, I think he may have a good idea with trying a lower saturation, though I'd have to see it.  I'm not sure what's going on, but there is one isolated green dot just above a leaf between the center and right flower stems.

I also think Gigi has a good idea. I had to hunt for Dennis' green dot, though!sad I would pull back the yellow and green and possibly up the luminance of both, protecting the yellow centers of the flowers. Worth a try.

Hi John, for me flowers and background look better (of course!).

Hi John:  I do think the repost comes across better.  Which is truer to life probably depends on the light they're viewed under.  Excellent work regardless of which version.
