Pretty, I can understand why people are distracted by the border ... I like the creativity to get a border like that. I think maybe the color is the distraction, perhaps if it was a bit darker it would be less distracting.
But ... experimentation is the fun part (for me) and I'm glad you experimented ... neat effect.
Well, you've heard it all by now I'm sure :) But let me say that I couldn't even find this flower on a flower database. It might be because of where you live that it wasn't on there but geeze man! LOL!! Truly a mystery to me... maybe we should ask Judi? I'm not even sure if that's anything she would know... I, for one, like the color of the flowers. It's very unusual.
Not overly fond of the frame although it does give the photo a 3-D shadow box type feel to it. I like that you filled the frame and the colours are good.
The flowers are very beautiful. I'm afraid that for me the frame doesn't really work, it's like it's all flying to the outside, away from the flowers, and at least to my eyes that is not working too well, even competing too much with the flowers. But it is an interesting idea to add a frame like this one.
