I would strongly recommend redrawing the flower in a vector format so it can
cleanly scale up to poster size (and without excessive bitmap file size). Clean
scalability is something we miss when for instance preparing materials for
conference presentations, not to mention potential merch. Who wouldn't want a
40-inch MediaWiki poster in their office? :D

The look could be preserved pretty well with some gradient magic, I suspect.

(Still don't like the brackets. Too... purply and roundy.)
