...despite the name, I think this wildflower is uncommonly beautiful, and I thought it captured the color theme pretty well. I hope you like it.

I'm going to be really picky here. The color you have chosen, which appears more of a light magenta color is considered a secondary color, only when dealing with colored LIGHT, and not pigments. The pigmented secondary color, which would be color on any actual surface of object, is actually a deeper purple.
Ok, now that I have that out of the way... I'll talk about the shot itsself.
Excellent capture! I love the one flower that just jumps up and screams look at me. The droopy flowers do add character. The background seems to have some noise in it. Seems like it's pretty speckled or something. The focus and clarity of the flowers is really great. I expecially love the detail in the center of the flower.
The angle and framing/cropping is great. I wouldn't change a thing about it. The one in the center is definately the center of attention and he has his little future flowers hanging around.
The lighting is good on the flowers, I think that is one major reason that the color is so strong and vivid.
Not a whole lot to complain about here. lol A nice shot.
