What I learned this afternoon in my 50mm fixed focal length test was that I needed a tripod and higher f stop to get the depth of field needed to catch these carnations under artificial light.
About an 80% crop (there was lots of black space) and a mild saturation boost on the reds. No USM or levels.

These do remind me of this song:
A White Sport Coat (and a Pink Carnation)
Marty Robbins

A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue blue mood.
I'm all dressed up for the dance
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue blue mood.
