Beautiful photos!! They're all very different, and all lovely.

With the first one, I'd really like to see a tighter crop with none or almost none of the green background visible - you could get an almost abstract effect with the purple petal patterns!

Second is perfect as is, maybe a little to smooth out the background. Great catch with the subject! I bet I wouldn't notice that branch passing by, but it makes for a very interesting photo.

Third one - what is that?? Looks really cool! Love the colors and the blurred background. I'd crop it a bit to focus more on the plant, and move it off-center a bit. Not sure, either crop some off the top and the left or right, or try a vertical crop?

None of the pics have been edited. The last pic, I have no idea what it is, just thought it was cool. I am really beginning to appreciate the beauty of flowers.
