Followed basically the same steps as the 'Bloom' image with a few differences:

For working with magic wand on the 'greenery', changed tolerance to 20-25, depending on the area. Used lasso tool to grab straglers.

Feathered, set to new layer, then clicked on background layer, then added 2 hue/sat adjustment layers to non-destructively change to black and white. (This time changing bottom hue/sat layer - Hue > to -153)

Clicked on top 'bud' layer - then used Selective color to enhance the green of the stem & leaves with green, yellow and neutral layers, then enhanced reds layer.

Added Curves adjustment layer above all the other layers and tweaked slightly.

Merged visible, then used smidge of Neat Image.

Have fun!
