OK, a crude quick blast with PS's clone tool to indicate the scene I
might have liked to have taken.
All gardening would be easier pre-capture, assuming it was your
garden.
I also put some separation between right hand flower and foliage of
trees.

Well, Jimmy did ask:
"I would appreciate any ideas on how to improve 'the composition' of
this photo using PS7 or PaintShop Pro photo editing programs."

As an assignment it's OK (is that self-imposed or part of a course?).
Forget PS: for my eyes at the taking stage I'd have moved a few cm to
the right and a cm or two down to put space between the tree top
right and the flowers and I would have ripped out the left hand
flower.
Thank You BOB,
I -did- ask for help and ideas to improve this photo. Your version does improve the composition and balance. I appreciate You taking the time and effort to help me out.
The assignment was more self imposed - as a small group of local photographers who challenge each other with a monthly theme - then compare results. My scene was of a roadside group of wildflowers (weeds) and I did not want to get down on my knees to frame the shot - thus the 'grab shot' composition.
I am still working on my PS 7 Clone technique and wish I could figure out how to do Layers. PS 3.1 was much easier.
