Stock is a global assets business, not a casual snapshot sharing site like social media.
Adobe Stock customers pay for high quality photos for use in commercial projects. Before you submit, always compare your work with similar content in Stock's inventory to ensure that 1) they need what you're selling and 2) yours is better than what Stock is selling now. If it's not, don't submit it.
If you're new to photography, enroll in some beginner courses to learn the basics. Also, join a photography club where you'll meet other photographers & practice your skills together. 😁 Have fun!
Don't waste your time uploading snapshots of ordinary flowers. The database is overrun with floral images. Unless you find a rare, exotic species they'll never sell. You have too many similars here, and most are poorly composed, such as those with a blurry leaf across the frame.
The refusal reason is either quality issues, or similar pictures already submitted. You should tell us the refusal reason given by the moderators.

The focus is on the grass, but should be on the flower.
None of your photos are correctly framed. The picture is slightly underexposed, but I would not expect a refusal for that with this histogram, except that flower pictures need to be perfect, as there are so many of them in the database.
Details are smeared, because of picture “optimization” and the small sensor camera in your phone. It looks to me that you have activated a creative portrait program, that tries to create a fake software DOF. That looks great on your phone's screen, but as soon as you check your picture at 100%, the limitations of both the software and hardware are getting obvious.
Posting multiple similar photos is prohibited as it is considered spam. Similar photos with the same theme should be posted with no more than three very well-taken photos. Recently, even if you post less than three photos, your post may be rejected.
There are millions upon millions of flower images on Adobe Stock. Unless they are extremely unique, they will generally be rejected due to over saturation.
