Hello Wulf,
What a lovely shot of a beautiful flower! Whenever possible, I like to clone out a distracting object so that I retain the option of cropping - or not. I've removed the white with the cloning tool and tried a slight crop and a drastic one, but went back to the cloning and boosted the saturation and contrast a bit - this is a preference thing, you may not like it, but it did seem to make the flower pop a bit more, which is what I am assuming is the ultimate goal, the beauty of the background speaks for itself.
I've included the cloned edit and the cloned with boosted colour/contrast and left the crop decision to you.
What was your intent when you were photographing these beauties? Were you capturing the flower and using the field as a background..or was it the field of them that inspired you, and the flower was included as reference and focal point...might answering the question of subject help you in the crop decision?
Take a break and then play with it, it looks great either way, it's all about what you like - have fun and good luck!
