Actually, the WB is very close on both, and too warm. You said the background is red and beige - in both of these it looks orange and yellow. Have you tried using a grey card and setting custom WB? If you shot this in RAW, you can fix the color in post processing.

Pretty, though!

The *second* one looks oversaturated and has lost a bit of detail, I prefer the first but agree that they're both a little bit too warm.

Gotta go with #3 here. In the first two the yellow seems to blend with the background.

Third one definitely an improvement for me.

I prefer the third one but it's still quite warm - the stems are still quite yellow-ish.

i lke the third photo. it looks more 'natural' but as the architect says, it is still warm. maybe if you select the stems and remove the yellowish tint, it will look better.

I'm afraid I like none. The background is too much of the same colour as the yellow in the flowers. It's a bit better in the third photo, but using the dark red as the entire background would be much more of an improvement.

I like the first one. I like how the red and yellow background matches the flowers.
The second one is too warm I think, and the stems are yellowish.
The third is nice but the yellow of the flowers looks a little washed out.
I would go with the first if I were you, or maybe a slightly warmer, more saturated version of the third.
Just my opinion.
