Spring is in the air

Hi All,
I actually took this picture about a year ago down in Bowral. So since we have a number of flower pics being posted I thought I could get a review on this one.
All comments welcomed. Unfortunately I don't have the Exif as I not long had my D70 at the time of this shot.
Do you think I should crop the fence in the backgroud out? or maybe just clone the pole out?
