I feel like there is way too much going on in those picture. Everything is super bright and vibrant. Backgrounds have too much texture in them, even if they are out of focus. Try to find a bit more cleaner composition. Out of all three images, the first one is the most appealing to me, but I would compose it differently. I would place the in focus flower in the rule of thirds to the left. I like that there is another flower with the same shape out of focus. It kind of repeats the first one.

The main subjects are very nice but the “busy backgrounds” do
take away from the effect you are trying to portray.
It’s happened to me lots of times and I have learned to look very
carefully through my viewfinder to see what the lens is seeing.
Oksana has a great video on isolating the main subject by blurring
the background when necessary. It’s definitely worth a look.
Don’t get discouraged on cleaning up backgrounds – it happens to
us all!!!
