HEY! I like your choice of subject. A very pretty cliche.
The first thing that I notice on this shot is the quality. I don't know anything about your camera so maybe it's just low resolution which you can't help much. There's a lot of noise.
Secondly I notice that it doesn't look very clear and crisp, but the dof is pretty good b/c the bg is blurred nicely. The whites are slightly overexposed in places, and the colors need some correcting so that the white is more white than grey. I think flowers like this would pop better against a solid background - you could always just hold a posterboard or some fabric behind it.
I'm not too crazy about the composition b/c there's a big empty area on the bottom right and the top left flower is cut off. If you could possibly arrange it so that they're all facing forward and filling the complete frame - I think the repetition would be cool.
Overall, a decent shot that needs a little compositional help. I think the main problem tho is just the quality issue.

I like how the flowers area all in focus then the background becomes blury. Also all of the different colors used was also done very nice. Nice Work

Focus is a bit off.

The white of the flowers looks great against the purple background. The photo seems to be grainy. Have you tried using neat image?

Beautiful flowers but why is the photo so small? You only used 466 pixels when the site allows up to 640 pixels on a side. I don't know what camera and software you have but a little levels and unsharp mask in photoshop would help too. Good Luck

There are a lot of artifacts in the petals - perhaps more light was needed for this shot? The shallow depth of field works well to blur the background - keeps eyes on flowers well.

Good picture. A little pixelated though....
