I like it but I think the color balance is way off with far too much cyan. I added a fair amount of red and a touch of yellow and it looks much better. Of course, I don't really know what it's supposed to look like but after my changes the background foliage is mostly green rather than mostly blue.

This is the first time I see this flower, nice composition! For me I would move the angle a little to let the green fill the background.
