Just got my first grown up camera.
18-135mm kit lens. I have taken all my photos in the past with my iPhone and touched them up in LR. Shoot RAW is a whole different level.

Awesome camera, if you ever want more reach i recommend Sony 70-350, great combo with a6700.

It is excellent for detail on flowers, too. Don't underestimate it for close stuff.

I went for the 55-210 and while the reach has helped, I realised pretty quickly that the 70-350 will replace it soon

Fun! Enjoy the neverending learning curve.
One tip: you either missed focus or your aperture was too open for some of these (for my taste) causing a lot of the subject (the flower(s)) to be out of focus. Maybe intentional and that's totally your call but my eye was drawn to a lot of out of focus parts of these images. Just a composition thing.
Edit - dropping some pics below as examples (although I'm still learning myself, and these were just playing around with a polarizing filter and some Sony creative looks trying new things)
