I love pic-2 & 4. The choice of framing is excellent in pix 4, so too is the lighting.

Would you mind sharing the exposure details and lighting arrangement?

Thanks for sharing.

Pic 4 is excellent... well done!!

I like the concept of Pic 2, but don like all the dead bits on the orchid. Can remove in PS or use a better orchid?

I like Pic 1, but perhaps look better if bottom of photo was also sharp... what f stop used? Also if there was no shadow to the left (ie. straighten that petal).

thanks for the comments!
As for pic 2,
the lightsource was actually the sun from above, and the backdrop a whitish grey wall.
I underexposed by abt 1-2 stops to make the backdrop dark and saturate the colours of the flowers, and finally adjusted levels in PS.

I like pic 4.It looks as though its the dancers wearing the flowers suit.
The stems of the flowers looks like legs.

Nice pics!
