Wonderful light and colour -esp like #1

I'd try to look at the composition a bit more - flower shots often look better if not central in the image (the rule of thirds thing)

Third shot is beautiful! Second shot is nice but a vertical crop would have helped in not cutting off the top area, good color and very nice lighting on it. First shot of poppy maybe has a blue color cast to it?? And as mentioned try not to center up the shots as much, very nice More, more more!

Thank you for all the comments. I will try my best to learn from them.

I know I centered the flowers, but I figured I can always cropped later. I will however continue to work on composition.
