I just took these of some flowers in my house. I know they're a touch blurry,which is my fault. (still trying to get used to the weight of the flash on my camera) please let me know what you think. Thanks

The first one would be better if the flower in the front wasn't OOF.

Neither one really spark my interest. Sorry.

Then you need to read this: How to Hold a Digital Camera

Besides the OOF issues in #1 there seems to be a lot of noise in there also

Your exposure is too slow for the focal length, needs to be minimum of 1/60 for handheld. If tripod it's ok.
On a sunny day iso can be at 100. 1600 can introduce noise thatw ill affect the quality. On a d3000 I imagine 1600 is fairly high.
If necessary use flash, power it back if necessary but the settings will be easier to adjust.
