I missed this, re a comment in the pastels challenge, so will leave a comment now.
This so suits this challenge, and the softness is just perfect.
I also love the DOF, that you aslo achieved as well.
In all, a very pleasing image to the eye.

Very pretty. I love the soft purples, but I wish the two bottom petals weren't cut off.
