Exquisite! I like the colour composition and sharpness
in the first and third pictures. Well done!
After thought, you could improve the second picture
by removing (cropping) the half flower in the second
picture.

The RBG is a great place.
I like the third of these. Nice simple lines.

I like the first and third Image.
The colours in the third one are fantastic and the first one is a great idea.

I was considering going out there a few days ago, looks like i missed out.
I like #1, but does #2 look a bit overblown on the flower petals?

If these are as sharp as they appear in the small size posted, you've captured some great images here. If I was to be picky, I would perhaps point out the distracting tear in the leaf on the first one - pity about that (otherwise fantastic shot).
The third is the standout here for me - very simple, impressively sharp, with just the right DOF.

Nice shots,
really like the Echinacia (however it's spelt) and the lotus are nice - love the way the water rolls off the leaves and the flowers are great subjects
mm remind me to visit the lotus pond in Adelaide as they only flower for a short time

Thanks for all your compliments and critiques.
The beauty of the Boantic Gardens is there is always something in its full glory at any time of the year.
With the overcast skies and light rain on Boxing Day it seemed the perfect day for photos.

I do like the first of these. Beautiful rich colours, and elegant simplicity in the subject.
I would like to see greater DoF however, but that's a minor niggle; this is a very nice image.

That first one is cracking. It leads your eye down into the petal and then you get hit "POW" with that super crisp water droplet.
Simple and effective.
I am with the general concensus on the 2nd, great shot but a few distracting elements.
#3 is simple and effective all over again... your not into minimalism are you, totally white concrete house?
