The first ones are VERY pretty! Do they hang down from someone's stone wall?
With regards to composition it would have helped the second photo (so I think) if those flowers had been given "room to look into". Now they "look" right at the edge of your frame.
As for the background, yes it's a stone wall. pretty much every building in my neighborhood looks like that. Which is why, even if it's distracting, I can't change it... I personally think it gives the image character.
As for the second ones, I couldn't take a wider image w/o including branches and dead flowers, but I get your point.
