I think that's strange, don't you? Unless you can think of a rationale for it. You may call the juxtaposition of two conflicting things genius but I'm really not sure, it's too cheap a trick.
Don't misunderstand me, I like Strayhorn generally. Chelsea Bridge is an all-time favorite. He used a lot of 7b5 (7#11) chords there too, but that was about gloomy bridges and it suited perfectly. But this one's about lovely flowers and not the same thing at all.
I did this about 5 years ago, just dug it out. You'll like it :-)
