I cant decide between these two. The color , is it overwhelming? The B&W almost looks like infrared? I dont know. Just edited the third. Think I like it the best

This is a difficult subject, mizzee. Reds tend to overwhelm most sensors. So, initial exposure is a bit more critical. Additionally, if you're not already using RAW, that would be almost mandatory.

For me, the reason to shoot for b&w would have to do with light and shadows, contrasts, textures, etc. Because your color photo is mostly the same tones, I don't find interest in this b&w conversion.
Your late addition might make a more interesting b&w with its stronger contrast. Also, if your editor has virtual color filters, you might be able to separate the red/orange from the yellow tones more.

I'd say the color even though the tones are basically the same. The black & white looks boring.

Color... the colorful fields of these wildflowers is what makes them so beautiful. If you choose B&W then the lighting, shadows, textures and composition become critical to bringing out the beauty of these little gems.

What do you want to emphasize: color or texture? If you choose texture, then b&w. but there is not much of a b&w range in the flower itself. For me - color because red just wants to be seen in red. Even then you could play with the color range and texture.

I don’t know much at all about editing photos but I think the last one is more visually exciting.

In this case the color images present better, and look better, IMHO.
Thanx for sharing.

Too much of the same colour to be a good candidate for B&W. In B&W you need contrast, this conversion has none.
