It's a lovely shot with color and nice OOF areas.  Just how that flower got the name of a Greek who so admired his good looks that it led to his demise is beyond me.

Narcissus is looking at his own image into the mirror, a Greek wisdom universally found in all important wisdom traditions.
Man ( or mind and his projected world)

Photographers can easily understand, in a relative sense psychology names it for a psychological defect.

The flower is indeed beautiful, so whats in a name.
