I see you have a Kodak easy share (I used to have one of those!)
On a photo like this, I'd try to drop your aperture even more then it is. If you have a dial at the top of your camera that says "A" or something similar, you should click to that and then make the number as smaaaaaall as possible.
This make a shallow depth of field, and would make the background soft and fuzzy, while keeping the subject really crisp. With this photo even increasing the shadows/contrast would make it stand out more from the background.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about - I took this with my old Kodak. [link]

Wow! I thought I couldn't do that with this camera, I never explored that mode though

No problem. 
The further away the background is, the easier it is to get fuzzy. Your cam might have a harder time turning the background all soft when other stuff is closer to it.
Another option is the "Macro" setting - the little flower mode. It does similar things. Have fun!

Yea I knew about the macro setting, that's what I used for this, and at least, on my camera it's a P because it has a couple settings that can be manipulated there. Thanks for the advice, I am sure I will use it

I love these flowers. :3 And you are really able to get across the sunny sky and the background which is chock full of these things and then focus on the blooms right in front. I think it's awesome and your coloring is really great.
The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you aren't focusing on flowers that are already starting to fade.
But I love this.
