Good results. These are picturesque flowers to capture.
My suggestion would be to more clearly isolate the subject from the rest of the tulips in the background by using a wider aperture, and to control the background more by angling the camera up or down to avoid clashing the green and pink background with the different colours of the more distant horizon.
A softer green with less impinging background flowers would work, as well as a simple bland coloured background - even the sky would be a great background, and there you could even stop down to get any feature clouds in focus as well to add more perspective and interest to the image.

Thanks for the tips Ash!

I am not sure why I don't have other shots of these with different apertures and angles. I normally do, but I took these months ago and probably went through and deleted a bunch. I think I wanted a slightly in focus background to get the painted look I somewhat got in #3.
