Bob -
You should be able to brighten just the green leaves using this technique:
In Lightroom's Develop module open up the HSL section and click on
"Luminance". In the upper left corner of the HSL section you'll see a
circle with a dot in the center. Click on that and it will expand by
adding an up and down arrowhead to the symbol. When you move the mouse
cursor over the image it will turn into that same symbol with an
addition plus sign. Put the plus sign on the color you want to brighten
or darken.
Holding the left mouse button down and moving the cursor up will
increase the luminence and brighten just that color. Moving the cursor
down will darken it. When you think you have the adjustment to your
liking, release the mouse button. The cursor may disappear when you
depress the mouse button but that's OK - it will reappear when you
release it. Just move the mouse forward or backward until the luminance
of the selected color is right. Go back to the symbol in the upper left
of the HSL box and click on it to turn off that adjustment function. At
this point, if you decide you don't like what you did just do a Ctrl-Z
to return to your previous settings.

I am cautious about going too dark on the green parts and purple base
of the blossoms.
The original is just before on photo.net.

Bob,
I really like this shot--for better or worse, the snow is always gone here by
the time the crocuses (croci?) appear.
One might brighten the flowers a bit and increase the saturation.

Yes, isn't this the first day of spring?
