Orchid
I tend to neglect it but it doesn't seem to mind. Each year it just gets better.

Lovely looking bloom 
Not too sure about the background myself, but it's just a personal thing, others may like it!

It's a beautiful orchid, not sure the background works though, maybe shoot it against a plain background, and take the support stick off for a couple of minutes, or shoot closer, if the blooms pull the stem down without the support.

I like it. Every shot has a plain background so this is something different

Lovely flower and a good shot. I would probably try it with a piece of black card behind it to really concentrate the eye on the beautiful flower

I think it brilliant and it makes such a change to see an in focus background behind a flower that I love it

Wonderful flowers, we have some in the dinning room that are in full flower too.
Agree with what Steve said or you could try moving them further away from the background to try and isolate them a bit more.
