Stop placing the subject smack in the middle of the frame.

Here is a link that will help you learn how to better compose your shots

Practice, practice, practice.
Learn, learn, learn.
Patience, patience, patience.
Repeat.

Learn the basics of exposure, lighting and composition.

Those images suffer from poor composition. The main sunject is lost amongst a cluttered, messy background.

For low growing plants, try to get down to ground level and shoot up to avoid having the ground as your background.

Use a wide aperture and get close to the subject to fill the frame and get a shallow depth of field - this helps to emphasise the subject and remove background clutter.

Lastly, don't put your subject dead centre in the frame read up on the rule of thirds.

Learn photography.

If you have to time to do that, learn how to assess light properly then learn how to adjust your camera accordingly. After you've done that, learn how to arrange the elements in your photograph to have a pleasing effect on the viewer.
