Ref 975 Watercolor.- Contrasting
Make the colors more saturated, especially in the dark areas and shadows, by using more pigment Add less water to the paint, don't thin it down to an insipid near-nothingness. Wipe your brush on a cloth after rinsing it so you don't keep adding more water to the paint as you're working
But also paint over sections to strengthen the color. (Be gentle, don't scrub at the surface, just tickle it, so you're not lifting up the paint already on the paper.) The white of watercolor paper is your lightest tone, and there's lots of it! You have to work hard to counter all that whiteness, so don't be afraid to have some deep dark tones, As the flowers are White I did also reinforce them to even make more additional contrast
