Using the same colors from before, I worked on the unfinished leaves, refined the leaves I had finished before, worked on the unfinished petals, and refined the petals I had worked on before.  I used cream over the entire background to soften it and push it back.  I added a little grass green, pomegranate, and Spanish orange, lightly, in some areas.  I am still working on the background, picking at it here and there until I am happy with it overall.  I will also continue looking at the leaves and petals and refining and enhancing the values as needed.
