Thanks to all for looking!
Larry, Dan, and Paul, - thank you for your comments!
Larry, thank you for the your suggestions.
The loss of the detail was intentional - as a step toward
"impressionistic" style, - to convey the mood but not necessarily the
anatomy of the flower. For that reason, I also didn't clone out that grass
stem on the right (which I've removed on the "realistic" version), - it
contributes to the color of the image overall, balancing out the flower.
It is not that I am big fan of Monet; rather, I thought with this photo I
could achieve a similar effect, and to convey the mood I liked.
Cheers,
Igor

Yes, that photo was about the rendering.
Here are some analogies for this and the more "original" rendering
that were going through my mind, while I was experimenting with that photo.
You can compare Monet's water lillies to Isaac Levitan's:

Here is my photo in the style of Isaac Levitan ("realism"):

and the "Monetized" version posted earlier ("impressionism"):

All comments on both versions are welcome.
I actually like the “realistic” version better

To me, the monetized one just looks like you’ve blown out color channels and
lost all detail.
The monetized version does have the advantage of the background is less
distracting.
I’d probably start with the original, crop in tight on the flower, drop the
exposure one or 2 dB. But it’s not my photo, you should do to it what makes
you happy.
