My requirement was PEACE, so here goes:

I have been looking at all of your semi-symmetry flowers, and this one is by far my favorite.  For me, symmetrical art always brings a peaceful feeling, and because this one is better executed than the rest, it gives that peaceful atmosphere.  I like how the flowers in the four corners are symmetrical in idea, but not in perfect form.  This makes it seem as though they naturally grew there, and not just a copy paste pen stroke.

Overall, it is a nice design, but for me it lacks the "draw" effect.  It is pretty, so I can see this design on a quilt or a napkin (as sir Kirby mentioned), but not on a wall.  What I mean by the "draw" effect is that it has something about it that makes you want to keep staring at it, not look away, or think into it.  The appearance of action, surrealism, or conflict are great ways to create this effect.  My favorite parts of this piece are the four corners.  The flowers have a cool flowing and interconnecting style, which I would say has some action and surrealism in it.  This should be emphasized and/or duplicated throughout, in my opinion.  If you were to draw the flowers emanating from the corners to reach out into various location in the white space of the square, it would feel like they are invading the center, and we would want to see where they are going and how they got there.  But in order to make this more clear (I had to look three times before I realized what was happening in the corners) you could enlarge the heads of the flowers and give them slightly more detail.

Then this pretty design would transform to the next level!  I hope that helps, even if it is not at all what you are trying to accomplish with these symmetrical drawings. But I believe that is the end of the tagline!  Thanks for playing :)
