I see what you mean. For that effect I would have probably tried to work with the flowers in the top right part. to have dark branches appear from the bush, with randomly scatered flowers, showing less of the ground.
This sort of reminds me of Christopher Burkett type of photos. Check out his site and you might get some suggestions. He usually shoots 8x10 and blows these up very large so detail is not a problem but something that draws you into the photo.

I like where you are heading though. It may need a different perspective or a more narrowed focus on the busyness.
This appeals to me very much and I don't think it's too hectic. The strength of the image is in the dark branches with hold the composition together. The purple flowers and green grasses add nice color and texture to the image. And since it's the dark, burned branches that hold the attention for me, I would consider cropping from the left to eliminate the yellow flowers and the lighter grasses. I think this would emphasize the emphasize the dark branches and flowers even more. Other than that, I really like this.
