Maybe you should make the stem solid, I wouldn't expect
to see thru a stem of a plant, even if it's greyscale.

As for composition, have you considered making the
first part of the stem near the flower green-grey fading to grey?
That might give a visual clue that the stem is organic.
Or maybe blue-grey?
As it is, the stem reflects the flower, which makes that end
"hot", where you might expect a flower stem to be "cool".
