I think it is lovely. I wish these grew around here. Did you try adding a bit more contrast and saturation to this?

I like to see some more color in this with saturation, as I can really see it lacks color to make this one pop.

Maybe some more color and contrast? But otherwise good focus

Oh Lydia, Lydia too, too flat a background for such a pretty flower. This just isn't you! But I am not worried because I know around the bend it's going to be a better day!

Nice composition. Agree with Tlemetry that it's a bit dark and could use more contrast. Maybe also get ride of the bit of leaf in the lower left corner.

It feels a bit underexposed and needs some contrast. The composition and image itself is not boring at all. Lovely flower.

I made a few changes to let you know what I mean.

First I straightened the shot using the measure tool and rotate arbretrary (sp) Then I adjusted levels. I bright the white slider in and the black slider in to where the lines start on the histogram.
After that I adjusted curves just a tad to add contrast. I burned the shadows in around the center and the pink areas of the flower about 14%
