Nice colours... but I think the focal point (a tiny band hidden back in the picture) is too far away and the composition is a bit loose (there is a lot of dark area at the top - as a first experiment I would suggest either reducing it to a third or increasing to about two thirds).

If you can get back to these flowers at a similar time of day I would definitely suggest another shooting session might be in order.

The color of these flowers is beautiful and the background is nicely blurred, however your focus of your subect seems off. Having the front flowers OOF can work if you have a flower focused in the back that is the subject you want to highlight. I would retake this, perhaps with all the flowers in focus or from a different angle (perhaps from above?) so that more of the flowers fill the frame.
