As I mentioned in an earlier shot of yours bumping the contrast can get rid of that hazy look. Here's an edit of your shot that I did. I edited the flower and the bg separately because bumping the contrast on the whole image blew out that spot of sunlight in the upper left of the shot. I tweaked the contrast/brightness and midtones on the flower and decreased the brightness on the bg. Then cloned out those little bugs and used the clone stamp to fix the edges where I did a sloppy cutout on the flower layer. usm once on just the flower, flattened the image and the adjusted the color just a bit to bring out the yellow better without having it blown out. Makes a big difference imo on how much this flower stands out.
