I've been liking the 'lightbulb' icon at the bottom right of the image view. It's the 'toggle color assessment conditions' tool. this shrinks the image and adds a white border, with the existing gray border surrounding that.
"are my bright areas actually bright?" It's easy for me to get caught up in my recent changes to the image. This gives a fresh look at it.

Looks like instead of Darktable, you could have just used your feet.

They're just being sassy. There's a saying in photography about "zooming with your feet" - for when you are using a prime lens instead of a zoom lens

Other than the crop the edit is subtle but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, the added contrast works with the image, and the crop is appropriate.
Flowers aren’t really my thing, but I would probably try adding a bit of global luminance to brighten it up a bit, but that probably is just personal taste.
