I think #1 and 3 are fine, the depth of field and color of the background bring out the subject. In #2, the background is too strongly saturated for me, stronger than the subtle color of the subject.

Don't give up. I see lots of potted plants at Home Depot. Just get a few and set them around and get to shooting. :) Or sneak over to the neighbors house. :) Or if you come over and help mulch this weekend, I'll let you take pictures all you want. Even give you diner! Erv
